For the 2023/24 season, the Glamour Boys signed the likes of Pule Mmodi, Given Msimango, Ranga Chivaviro, Mduduzi Mdantsane, Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Edson Castillo, Tebogo Potsane, Jasond Gonzales and Luke Fleurs.
While some of the players have been able to hit the ground running, others finished the first half of the season still adjusting to their new surroundings.
“Kaizer Chiefs’ success is winning and bringing in trophies. They must change their criteria, and they must drastically do so and not just like a player. They must watch these players play a certain number of times – 30 or 40 times, watch videos, watch how his character is like on the field when the team is losing. Is he the type of a player that can create an equaliser and get the team back into the game? When you are winning 1-0, is he the type of a player that can keep the opponents at bay?” said Stylianou, speaking exclusively to the Siya crew.
