The retired winger could meet Hunt at Amakhosi, but he has also been linked to Masandawana.

The Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly looking to add former Bafana winger Bafana Dillon Sheppard to their technical team.

The Soweto giants recently appointed Gavin Hunt as their new head coach, replacing Ernst Middendorp in a long-term deal.

The club confirmed that it will make an announcement about the assistant coach position in due course.

“Gavin Hunt wants Sheppard to be part of his technique and they are also an indication that he [Sheppard] he can coach the Diski team and Arthur Zwane is his assistant coach, ”said a source. Daily sun.

Hunt and Sheppard became free agents after Wits sold their Premier Soccer League (PSL) status to National First Division (NFD) team Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.

The new owners are ready to move the club to Limpopo and rename it Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila and made it clear that they would not retain the technical team.

Sheppard, who retired from professional soccer in 2017, has been linked with reigning PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns since last week.

Masandawana is reportedly looking to bring in Sheppard as an academy coach with the former Lamontville winger Golden Arrows who served as the head coach of the Wits reserve team in the past.

It remains to be seen if the man nicknamed Sheppy will be open to returning to his old club after spending three seasons with the Sundowns between 2006 and 2009.

Sheppy had a successful stint with Masandawana, helping the team to three major trophies during his three years at the club.

The Durban-born legend was part of the Sundowns team that lifted the 2006/07 PSL, 2007 SAA Supa 8 (MTN8) and 2008 Nedbank Cup titles.
