Kaizer Chiefs will be without a key defensive trio of players in their crunch clash with AmaZulu at the weekend.
Key trio suspended for Usuthu test
Amakhosi will continue with Bruce Bvuma in goal after unused substitute Brandon Petersen was given a red card for something he said in the 2-2 draw with TS Galaxy. Meanwhile, Edmilson Dove also saw red in that match and Given Msimango must sit out this clash too after he was dismissed in the 1-5 defeat to Sundowns.
THE RACE FOR MTN8 QUALIFICATION
Amakhosi have four matches left of the DStv Premiership campaign. Only two points separate them in eighth place (34) and AmaZulu in twelfth (31) so it’ll be an almighty scrap to finish in the MTN8 qualification places. Will Cavin Johnson go out with a bang or a whimper? AmaZulu does have a shame in hand though.
- Sun 12 May vs AmaZulu (A) – 17:30
- Sat 18 May vs Polokwane (H) – 15:00
- Sat 25 May vs Cape Town Spurs (A) – 15:00
THE KAIZER CHIEFS COACH SHORTLIST?
Take your pick from the myriad names mentioned as potential candidates to become the next Kaizer Chiefs boss. First, there were a couple of Brazilians Alex Gallo and Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Then an Iberian duo came into contention; Spaniard Raul Caneda and the Portuguese former Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Al Nassr and Egypt manager Rui Vitoria. Local names Pitso Mosimane and Manqoba Mngqithi are there too, of course. We’ve even forgotten about Nasreddine Nabi who ‘came close’ to becoming the boss at the start of this season. The club’s board desperately need to make the right appointment next time, but there’s no guarantee that the new coach will come from this list of names. We’ve even got our theories about Lehlohonolo Seema’s suitability for the role. Are we missing anybody? There’s also no guarantee that the club’s new manager will come from this list.
