A lot has been said about Kaizer Chiefs' players and their quality or lack thereof in recent seasons due to inconsistent results and trophy drought. But experts have a different view on the situation. Amakhosi last tasted cup success in 2015 when they won the league under Stuart Baxter during his first spell. With the team now at risk of clocking a decade without winning a trophy, there have been growing concerns among all those associated with the club about the dropping standards. In most instances when fingers had to be pointed regarding the worrying situation, players and coaches have been on the receiving end, but experts believe that sometimes the blame isn’t justifiable. With the 2023/24 season having entered the last quarter, Amakhosi are holding on with interim coach Cavin Johnson in charge just to finish the campaign, with the club expected to undergo coaching changes before the next campaign arrives. The Siya crew spoke to various influential figures in the industry about Chiefs’ downward spiral, and what could be the cause for it.
