the Court of Arbitration for sports (CASE) fired Tuesday Kaizer Chiefs’ appeal against FIFA’s transfer ban with the club now unable to make new signings for the next two transfer periods.
The Soweto giants confirmed the TAS decision on their official Twitter account in what is a huge blow to new head coach Gavin Hunt for the 2020/2021 season.
“The Panel of the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed the appeal of Kaizer Chiefs and confirmed the decision of FIFA in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This means that the Club will not be able to enter any player for two consecutive transfer periods,” he added. The bosses tweeted to their more than 1.9 million followers.
With the Chiefs narrowly losing the Premiership title last season, the news is a significant blow for Hunt, who had been drafted to bring the glory days back to the club.
Hunt previously commented that he was happy with the team at his disposal while he couldn’t get stronger in the transfer window like the Chiefs wanted on the CAS news.
“[The transfer ban] It’s been well documented so I really don’t want to go there, “Hunt told reporters after a 3-0 win at Sundowns on Saturday.
“We all know that the situation is very difficult but it is what it is… we are going to have to do the best we can with what we have, be brave and come back again.
