The Amakhosi official explains their schedule as they wait to return to the field this week.
Kaizer Chiefs Corporate Communications Manager Vina Maphosa has shared an update on the club’s activities as they return to Naturena ahead of the 2020/21 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season.
Maphosa explains that they will have a series of meetings this week, but is pleased that the Soweto giants have hired one of the most successful managers in PSL history in former Bidvest Wits boss Gavin Hunt.
The official said these are exciting times for the Glamor Boys and that due to the profile of the four-time PSL winner, he believes they will be able to lift more trophies.
“To put it broadly, we are back but in terms of activities we are building,” Maphosa told the media.
“There are a series of meetings taking place this week and we have players coming back from a break. On Thursday all the systems will be working and we will start with the activities.
“We are still building, we just got a new coach, a new assistant coach [Dillon Sheppard and Arthur Zwane] so there will be a series of meetings this week. “
On the new manager who was appointed to succeed Ernst Middendorp, who parted ways with the club last week, Maphosa confirms his ambitions to return to the glory days.
After leading the PSL table for over a year, Maphosa lamented their home venue, FNB Stadium, as they concluded the 2019/20 campaign at Orlando Stadium.
“This is an exciting time for the Chiefs. He [Hunt] He has won trophies before and has an attractive profile, ”he added.
“We are at a stage where we are very hungry and I think he brings that profile that the president was looking for.
“One of the things they took from us was the stadium and we felt like we missed our home. This is our home and this is where we play well, so we are excited to have her back. “
As they narrowly missed the lucrative PSL title by a small margin where Mamelodi Sundowns claimed it with 59 points compared to 57 for Chiefs, Hunt is expected to return smiles to the hard-to-please Glamor Boys faithful.
His mission to win trophies with the 50-year-old club begins with MTN8 when they face Eric Tinkler’s Maritzburg United in the quarterfinals.
