The Siya crew has learnt that Kaizer Chiefs are considering well-travelled Jose Peseiro as a possible solution to take over the club's head coaching role.
As previously reported by the Siya crew, Amakhosi have prioritised a top-level coach with the highest qualification, a winning track record and a personality to match the club's brand.
This narrowed down the search for a new coach considerably, with only a handful of available options matching the club's criteria. The likes of Pitso Mosimane, Benni McCarthy, Alexandre Gallo, Nasreddine Nabi and Manqoba Mngqithi amongst others have been linked to the Chiefs job, which is currently occupied by Cavin Johnson on a temporary basis.
The latest news regarding Chiefs' coaching search is that former Nigeria head coach, Peseiro, has been added to the list of possible candidates!
Well-placed sources have informed the crew that Chiefs management have set up a meeting with the African Cup of Nations silver medallists' agent with the possible view of roping him in at the end of the 2023/24 season.
The 57-year-old Portuguese coach recently became a free agent shortly after leading Nigeria's Super Eagles to a second-place finish at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.
He boasts an impressive CV with Real Madrid, Al Ahly, Al Hilal, Sporting CP, Venezuela, FC Porto and Panathinaikos amongst the clubs he has coached in his illustrious career.
