Bobby defends Motaung senior's leadership amid Kaizer Chiefs taking long to end trophy drought - 'It's not magic'

Premier Soccer League

Kaizer Chiefs

Polokwane City

Amakhosi have been struggling to win their first piece of silverware since clinching the Premier Soccer League title at the end of the 2014/15 season.Various coaches have come while a lot of players have been signed but have failed to guide the club to trophies.That has invited criticism on how the Soweto giants are run but Motaung has leapt to the defence of his father Kaizer Motaung Snr who is the club chairman.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“It requires a leader, who is patient to develop and inspire coaches, players and give people opportunities,” Motaung told <a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/dstv-premiership/bobby-how-chiefs-can-overcome-current-struggles/" target="_blank">iDiski Times</a>.“It’s not magic, it’s not that he is pressing a button that whoever we sign [for] the team must perform. It’s about planning, it’s about re-planning.“The success of the brand has been there for years because of rebranding, rebuilding, refocusing, changing and facing the challenges and I think that’s what makes him unique because he has been through the mill.”

WHAT MOTAUNG SAID

The ever-demanding Chiefs fans might not buy into Motaung's remarks given how impatient they are.After going for eight years without lifting any trophy, Chiefs are under pressure to at least claim the Nedbank Cup since the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/psl/yv73ms6v1995b5wny16jcfi3" target="_blank">Premier Soccer League </a>title appears to be already out of their reach.That also presses Chiefs to be meticulous and thorough in their search for a new coach to replace Molefi Ntseki who was fired in October.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Amakhosi have a free weekend and are not involved in competitive action thIs weekend in which the Carling Knockout semi-finals takes centre stage.They would be hoping the inactivity will not affect their momentum after winning their last match against Moroka Swallows.They return to competitive action next Saturday when they visit Polokwane City.
