Cavin Johnson opens up on Kaizer Chiefs future as hopes of securing Caf Champions League berth slowly fade away

Kaizer Chiefs failed to win on Saturday following the 0-0 draw with Cape Town City at Athlone Stadium.Stuck in seventh position on the Premier Soccer League table, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/kaizer-chiefs-caf-champions-league-spot-hangs-in-the-balance-as-goal-drought-continues/blt67c6eff73864029e" target="_blank">Amakhosi's chances of finishing the season second and claiming a Caf Champions League spot are slipping away.</a>That has also placed interim coach Cavin Johnson in a fix as he is increasingly losing the trust of fans and the veteran tactician comments on his future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“There are no waves in Johannesburg, am I riding the wave [until the end of the season], I think the wave I want to ride is not yet there, when I ride it I will tell you, I will really really inform you," said Johnson as per <a href="https://www.idiskitimes.co.za/dstv-premiership/johnson-on-his-future-after-chiefs-stumble-again/" target="_blank">iDiski Times</a>.“But like I said, everybody thinks it’s interim, there’s no such thing as an interim coach."You take the team and you work until the team doesn’t need you anymore, so yes, I’m doing the best I can as the coach and taking this brand of football to the best we can for the last nine games.“…Yet? I don’t know – but we’ll see, it’s all in the hands of the Almighty,” he said when asked if he’s been offered the permanent head coach role.

WHAT JOHNSON SAID

Chiefs' struggle to get into the top two on the Premier Soccer League table might diminish Johnson's chances of landing the Amakhosi permanent job.The fact that he has been in charge of 13 games might highlight how his bosses at Naturena have patience with him.Those 13 matches include five wins, four draws and as many defeats.But a number of high-profile coaches like Pitso Mosimane, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/ex-orlando-pirates-coach-de-sa-issues-come-get-me-plea-to-kaizer-chiefs-they-know-where-i-am/blt4141d5e5141faada" target="_blank">Roger de Sa</a>, Alexandre Gallo and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/why-former-brazil-and-real-madrid-coach-can-restore-kaizer-chiefs-glory-days-da-silva-explains/bltd68f346014dbef9d" target="_blank">Vanderlei Luxemburgo</a> have been linked with Amakhosi.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With the Soweto giants out of the Nedbank Cup, their focus is now fully on the PSL campaign.They are now left with nine games and those present opportunities for Johnson to improve his team and earn a Champions League spot, a feat which might convince the chiefs at Naturena to permanently hire him as head coach.
