Kaizer Chiefs news

The Glamour Boys' chances of finishing the season without silverware are high after crashing out of the Nedbank Cup and CAF Inter-club competition in recent weeks. The Soweto giants are limping in the Premier Soccer League as well, leaving the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns and old rivals Orlando Pirates to fight for the title in a two horse race.

The search for the source of Amakhosi’s problems continues as pressure mounts over their poor run of results. Fingers have been pointed at the tacticians and players, with both accused of failing to deliver when it matters most. Club management has also come under fire, with critics blaming questionable transfer decisions for the team’s struggles.

The 48-year-old has already had two coaching stints in Europe, although as a backroom staff member. He also built his coaching reputation through spells in the Premier Soccer League and is now in his first role as a national team head coach with Kenya.

The Buccaneers striker has been set a daunting challenge to find his shooting boots in the PSL title run in, with a club legend suggesting a traditional intervention is required. Since arriving from Richards Bay FC at the start of the current campaign, the 24-year-old has found himself under the microscope as he attempts to lead the line for one of Africa’s most demanding fanbases. While his return of seven goals and three assists from 21 appearances is respectable, the standard at the Buccaneers remains sky-high.

The South Africa national football team coach has been encouraging players to pursue careers in Europe to sharpen their game at a higher level. However, he has overlooked a Denmark-based player who has been in outstanding form this season. The coach insists the in-form star simply does not fit into his plans despite his performances abroad.

The fear that Amakhosi could finish the season trophyless could become a reality if the current trend continues. After the midweek defeat to Richards Bay, the Glamour Boys dropped to the sixth position, and the fight could shift from the title to a top-eight finish. As the Soweto giants struggle, questions are being asked about who is responsible and what could be the solution.

The continental football mother body has announced a decision after days of speculation that the women’s continental competition could be pushed to a later date. The Cairo-based organisation has now revealed the new dates for the competition.

Amakhosi have been hogging the headlines in recent weeks for their struggles, raising concerns as a season that began with promise threatens to slip away. The inconsistent results have intensified scrutiny on the Soweto giants as pressure continues to mount. Different opinions have since emerged about what could be going wrong at Naturena.

The former Manchester United strikers' tactician has been doing quite well in his coaching career after hanging up his boots. The 48-year-old has been linked with the national team to take over from coach Hugo Broos after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

The former Esperance tactician believes the lack of modern technology in South African top-flight football, which, he insists, has hurt the Brazilians and the other teams. Masandawana are chasing the Premier Soccer League crown for the ninth time in a row, but face stiff competition from leaders Orlando Pirates.

The Soweto giants have been struggling in recent matches, piling more pressure on their already embattled technical team. The disappointing results have deepened concerns as frustration continues to grow among supporters. Amakhosi now risk finishing the season empty-handed and could even fall outside the top eight, missing out on an MTN8 berth for next season.

The South African Sports Minister has issued a chilling warning regarding the safety of the Soweto Derby, suggesting the nation’s biggest football fixture is currently a disaster waiting to happen. In the latest Derby the same old issues around access to the stadium, insufficient security and ticketing system failures were all on show once again.

The Sea Robbers had to rely on a late show to overcome a stubborn Rise and Shine outfit, with second-half strikes from Relebohile Mofokeng and Patrick Maswanganyi doing the damage. However, the wet and uneven conditions made life difficult for the Soweto giants, leading Ouaddou to question why a Premier Soccer League fixture was not moved to the modern World Cup venue situated right next door.
