Former Kaizer Chiefs head coach Gavin Hunt insists Amakhosi weren’t patient enough with him, firing him after just eight months on the job

Hunt joined Kaizer Chiefs at the commencement of the 2020/21 season, succeeding Ernst Middendorp, who is currently coaching Cape Town Spurs.&nbsp;During his challenging eight-month tenure at the Naturena-based side, the team found themselves in 11th position on the Premier Soccer League log standings with a disappointing 30 points from 28 games at the time of his departure. Additionally, the team managed only six wins, suffered 10 losses, and settled for 12 draws.Hunt contends that, during his time as coach, Chiefs grappled with an ageing squad. Furthermore, he believes that had there been more patience from the management, he could have made a meaningful impact on the team.

WHAT HAPPENED

“Yeah, I mean let’s be honest, we got to the semi-final of the (Caf) Champions League. I mean, it’s a great club, a great institution, they needed an overall (change), and they have done a complete overall since I’ve left,” Hunt said in an interview on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thisisfootball.africa3880" target="_blank">This Is Football Africa Podcast</a>.“They have a whole new team in and it was needed three, fours years ago. When Jeff Butler went into Chiefs, he got rid of Ace (Ntsoelengoe), Teenage (Dladla), there was a huge roar, remember those days? They wanted to slaughter him, the next season he won five trophies.“So, come on, you can’t let a team get old together, never! And, the team was old and it’s the nature of the beast, the team needed changing and it was one of those things.”

WHAT HUNT SAID

Hunt went on to further emphasise the importance of patience and the club having faith in their coach.“Maybe they didn’t like me," he added. "Obviously, you don’t fit in, maybe they don’t like you, maybe they don’t like you as a person, don’t like your mannerism, don’t like your this, that…“But, if you hire someone, you’ve got to let them get on with it and let them fail and I needed to get to the end of the season. I was two games away from the end of the season and then change, you know what I mean.”&nbsp;
