    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Kaizer Chiefs have not won a trophy since 2015 when they won the Premier Soccer League title.

    It was Stuart Baxter who guided the Soweto giants to glory before his unsuccessful second stint at the club.

    Former Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune has swatted aside the likes of Paul Dolezar and Ted Dumitru while picking Baxter as Amakhosi's greatest coach ever.

    WHAT KHUNE SAID

    “I strongly agree [that Baxter is the best Chiefs coach ever] because he won four trophies with Chiefs, and I played under him,” said Khune as per Sportswire.

    “I had to fight to be the best. It wasn’t about favourites – it was about working hard and earning your place!”
