Sources close to the club have revealed to the Siya crew that management has expected to see results by now, given the progress they anticipated during the building phase.  

"It's getting hard and tougher for the team management now. It's believed that they thought by now that the results would have started to show as the coach came with high expectations. but things are not working according to plan. Apparently, that's what is not making them happy. They don't just want the team to play well. No. They want results and so far they have lost to the all so-called big teams. That's the other reason why management is not happy so as they feel they have given him enough time to show what he can do for the team," a source revealed to the Siya crew.

Suggestions are that the Chiefs management feel they have a well-balanced squad capable of competing for the league title. 

"They think and believe that they have a great squad which can easily compete and be up there among Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. Because they are failing to do that, it's why management is dissatisfied and unhappy with the results and the coach right now," the source added. 

The 59-year-old Tunisian-born coach, has previously won domestic doubles in Tanzania with Yanga SC and in Morocco, finished second in both the league and cup with AS FAR Rabat, behind eventual winners Raja Casablanca.  

The Siya crew reached out to Chiefs for comment, but attempts were unsuccessful.
