Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt names best eleven players he has coached & states Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams 'should have gone to Europe' - 'The way he's gone to the next level'

Hunt remains one of the most successful coaches in PSL history, having coached teams like Black Leopards, Kaizer Chiefs, Seven Stars, and SuperSport United.

At Seven Stars, Hunt famously gave a young Benni McCarthy his professional break.

He went on to win multiple league titles, cementing his legacy.

Hunt has now selected his all-time best eleven players he coached, explaining why each deserved the spot.

Among them, he highlighted Ronwen Williams, praising his growth and stating he should already be playing in Europe.

Williams' nomination and top 10 finish for the Yachine Trophy further validates Hunt’s belief in his talent.

Goalkeeper: Ronwen Williams

"If you look at Ronwen in the last few years, the way he's gone to the next level, to get to that space of Ballon d'Ors [nomination], in my opinion, he should have gone to Europe," said Hunt as reported by Kickoff.

Right-back: Nazeer Allie

"For consistency and ability, Nazeer Allie was very good for me. He was steady."

Left-back: David Kannemeyer

"For steadiness, I would say David Kannemeyer. I liked him."

Centre-back: Bongani Khumalo & Morgan Gould

"I won a lot with them."

Central midfielder: Jabulani Mendu

"He was fantastic there at (Moroka) Swallows. He should have played at the higher level."

Central midfielder: Johannes Molatedi

"The other midfield player I coached, 'Chippa' Molatedi, and I think he was magnificent."

Wingers: Elias Pelembe & Daine Klate

"Both are goalscorers and both are providers, they would score eight, nine goals per season, which is what you want."

Strikers: Benni McCarthy & Glen Salmon

"Salmon, it troubles me that he never got 100 caps for Bafana.

"He played 10 or 11 years in a top league in Holland, but I think he's got two caps or something."

With Orlando Pirates now having a vacancy following Jose Riveiro's exit,

Gavin Hunt could emerge as a serious candidate for the job.

His vast experience and proven ability to manage big teams could suit a club like Pirates perfectly.

Meanwhile, Ronwen Williams continues to shine for Mamelodi Sundowns, playing a key role in their journey to the Caf Champions League run.

Sundowns have reached the final for the first time since 2016, when they famously lifted the trophy.

Both Hunt’s next step and Williams’ continued excellence are major storylines shaping South African football right now.

The seasoned tactician is currently on the market for a new job after parting with SuperSport.

Hunt is likely to take his time before jumping into a new role as he processes what has been a tough couple of recent years.

Since his troubled spell at Chiefs, Hunt has had a tough time settling into a coaching role with unsuccessful stays at Chippa and United standing out.
