However, sources close to the club have revealed to the Siya crew that Chiefs are now considering raising their budget to R100 million.
Insiders have further revealed that the club's management and board have agreed that to achieve the results, the coach needs the resources required to improve the team.
"They know that without a proper budget they won't get the right players that they want for the team to well and change the fortunes. That's why they are believed to be considering raising the current budget to R100m. Initially at the start of the season they had a R60m budget and it didn't bring them the players they wanted. They believe the R100m will make a big difference in negotiating and buying the players they want," the source revealed to the Siya crew.

"They plan to increase the planned offers for both Appollis and Mayele. That's because they have also increased the budget and they want things to work for them.," the source added.
Soccer Laduma reached out to Kaizer Chiefs for comment but had not received a response at the time of publishing.
