Amakhosi has already released some of those players who did not have enough playing time with Ernst Middendorp.
Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt says management did not have to give him a mandate when he signed a three-year contract with the club two weeks ago.
The former Bidvest Wits mentor understands that he was hired to win the league or end Amakhosi’s five-year trophy drought.
Hunt has an impressive resume from his days as Hellenic’s head coach in the mid-1990s.
It was at Moroka Swallows, SuperSport United and Bidvest Wits that he really enjoyed a trophy-laden career.
The 56-year-old mentor clinched three league titles and two Nedbank Cup titles with Matsatsantsa before adding a fourth league crown with the Estudiantes atop the Telkom Knockout Cup and the MTN8 titles he lifted with them and, therefore, he became one of the most decorated coaches. in the history of the PSL.
“My mandate is public knowledge,” Hunt said. World Sunday.
“Everyone knows that I have been appointed to win the league title or to end the club’s trophy drought,” he confirmed.
Hunt also confirmed that he would like to renew the current Chiefs team by making new signings.
However, he admitted that he will have to wait for the outcome of the transfer ban appeal, which will likely be communicated to the club before the transfer window closes in November.
The Cape Town-born coach believes it will be easier to hand out trophies at Naturena if he can get the players he wants on board.
And for Hunt, it’s a matter of wait and see while the club awaits the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling.
“If we win the appeal, I will definitely bring in players,” Hunt said.
“First, I need players to turn the club around. If I get the players I need, it will be easier for me to focus on my tenure.”
“Let’s wait and see what happens,” Hunt concluded.
On Monday, the Glamor Boys confirmed the presence of former Bidvest Wits player S’fiso Hlanti at the camp.
And if the appeal is successful, the South African international could become Amakhosi’s first major signing ahead of the 2020-21 season, which begins in October.
