Khune empathises with frustrated Kaizer Chiefs fans - 'We are nothing without Amakhosi faithful... they deserve better'

Kaizer Chiefs fans have supported their team through thick and thin but it is a shame that for the ninth consecutive season, they will not be celebrating any silverware.It is a situation that has not gone down well with legendary goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune who insists the loyal supporters shouldn't be going through that.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"We are nothing without the Amakhosi faithful; whenever they come to the stadiums to encourage us, they push us to get the desired results," the 36-year-old opened up to the media."[As players] we are not happy that every time we get on the field, we leave with our heads down and we are sulking and look how happy they are."We just drew the match [against Polokwane City], which is not the Kaizer Chiefs’ standard. We should be winning each and every game, especially playing at home."I know that all the games that we play, home or away, are all Kaizer Chiefs home games because these people travel with us wherever we go," the ex-Bafana Bafana keeper continued."So we need to appreciate them more by giving them the desired results. We just have to win matches for them, they deserve better."I think in the next coming season, we have to go back to the drawing board and see where we can improve so that we make these people happy. They’re always happy to see us, they’re happy to support us, but we need to also give back to them, which is just a victory and put smiles on their faces."

WHAT KHUNE SAID

Big changes are expected at the club in the next couple of days from the top down to the players. The Glamour Boys are in the market for a new coach to take over from Cavin Johnson who has been working on an interim basis after the exit of Molefi Ntseki.<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/johnson-hates-khune-you-disrespected-itu-kaizer-chiefs-used-him-to-sell-tickets-no-honouring-fans-furious-after-keeper-is-benched/blt815dfd3c2f2aca7c" target="_blank">Khune might be among the players who will be released</a> by the Soweto giants after serving Amakhosi for the last 25 years.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chiefs are set to conclude the season with a trip to the already relegated Cape Town Spurs hoping to get a win that might seal their place in the top eight depending on the outcome of their rivals.AmaZulu and Polokwane are the other teams, tied on points with Amakhosi but negatively affected by their goal difference.
