The Downs glove has previously worked under the PSL title-winning tactician, who he believes would be the right man for Amakhosi.
Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Denis Onyango believes former Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt is a “competitive coach” who would transform the fortunes of Kaizer Chiefs if given the opportunity.
Kaizer Chiefs’ coaching position is vacant following the firing of Ernst Middendorp after the club narrowly missed its first Premier Soccer League title since 2015.
With Bidvest Wits now gone, leaving Hunt out of a job, the four-time PSL title-winning coach has been strongly linked with the Chiefs and Onyango believes the tactician will make a big impact by delivering the silverware if he takes over Naturena.
The Uganda captain won three consecutive league titles at SuperSport with Hunt and met former Moroka Swallows coach at Bidvest Wits during a loan stint from Sundowns.
“He [Hunt] He is a fantastic coach, I think it would be a new chapter for him [if he is appointed Chiefs coach]. It probably will [be] managing a larger team than the few others he has been managing, ”Onyango told the media.
“But football is the same, the mentality is maintained that it will drive them to win trophies. He has won trophies with SuperSport and Wits and we know his quality as a coach.
“Going to a bigger team, the anticipation and what they expect from him is great. He has done it before. I think if given the opportunity to coach Kaizer Chiefs, he has the skill as a person and as a coach.
“Of course being driven by the size of the team will be something else, but good luck to him if he gets the job.
“It’s always good to have a competitive coach like Gavin in the league. When you watch the games between the Wits and the Sundowns, it has always been competitive. He encourages his players to do their best to make it good for the league and for football in general. “
While Hunt appears to be the favorite for the Chiefs job, current Botswana coach Adel Amrouche has also been mentioned as a possible replacement for Middendorp.
Bafana Bafana legend Benni McCarthy has also expressed interest in coaching the Chiefs.
