Why Chiefs Axed Ntseki
In the last edition of Soccer Laduma, we looked at six key things for Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki to work on during the international break. Although he had a handful of players away with their respective countries, it represented a chance to spend two weeks working on general tactical themes as well as opposition-specific ideas. Unfortunately, another cup exit, this time to AmaZulu FC, meant yet another route to silverware was blocked and they’ll now have to wait for the Nedbank Cup to potentially end their nine-year drought. With just a solitary win in seven matches and four blanks fired in the last six, the axe has fallen on the coach with more problem areas emerging with every match. The cracks were starting to get bigger and not one single department in the team was functioning to full effect. With the Soweto Derby just over two weeks away, Soccer Laduma delves deeply into the laundry list of concerns and problem areas and compile a list of reasons why the Amakhosi board felt the need to take decisive action, with Cavin Johnson taking charge in the short-term.
Does The Timing Make Sense?
