BackpageFrom Khune to Miguel, the brief captaincy story in recent years
Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune served as the club's captain for many seasons before Yusuf Maart succeeded him.
The former Sekhukhune United midfielder eventually left for the Bundesliga in the last transfer window, paving the way for a new leader in the team.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi, who was fired by the club recently, opted to promote Inacio Miguel to the role.

On several occasions, Miguel willingly passed the responsibility to fellow centre-back Zitha Kwinika.
Upon Nabi's exit, assistant coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef have opted to make some changes, one of them being naming a new skipper.
One of the players who has impressed, so far, is goalkeeper Brendon Petersen. The fomer Bidvest Wits goalie has kept six clean sheets in the nine PSL games played so far.
The technical team has since rewarded the custodian.

"We decided as technical staff to give Petersen as the captain going forward,” Kaze briefly updated the media.

Amakhosi are currently competing in the Premier Soccer League, Nedbank Cup, and the CAF Confederation Cup.
As seen in the recent game against Siwelele, he can influence the outcome of the game positively, and that is what the fans want to see from their new captain.
