Kaizer Chiefs confirm Johnson has failed the test and there is 'definitely' going to be a new coach for next season

After being patient with caretaker coach Cavin Johnson who was given a chance to prove himself for a permanent job, Kaizer Chiefs are now looking elsewhere for a new coach.The Soweto giants fired Molefi Ntseki in October 2023 and appointed Johnson as interim coach.But the 65-year-old has struggled to improve fortunes at Naturena where Chiefs last won a piece of silverware in 2015 and sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jnr says they are busy scouting for a new substantive coach.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“There is definitely [going to be a new coach],” Motaung Jnr said as per <a href="https://www.sowetanlive.co.za/sport/soccer/2024-04-11-definitely-a-different-kaizer-chiefs-coach-next-season-kaizer-jnr/" target="_blank">Times Live</a>.&nbsp; “It’s something we communicated from the onset — Cavin has stepped in on an interim basis and we’re [committed] to having a different technical structure next season.&nbsp; &nbsp;“I know we are focused on the next game and the next seven games and we have everything to play for. But yes, definitely the plans have long been in motion — we’ll be having a different technical structure next season,” the ex-Amakhosi striker said. &nbsp; “Well, you know, it’s our shortlist but who makes that shortlist? From our side, we’ve been preparing for a while now and at the appropriate time we’ll make the right announcements.”

WHAT MOTAUNG JNR SAID

Since taking over as Chiefs interim coach, Johnson has been in charge of 15 games across all competitions.In those games, he has managed five wins, four draws and six defeats, a record that might not be inspiring for a big club like Amakhosi where expectations are always high.That record has worked against Johnson as Chiefs are being linked with several coaches like Pitso Mosimane, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/why-former-brazil-and-real-madrid-coach-can-restore-kaizer-chiefs-glory-days-da-silva-explains/bltd68f346014dbef9d" target="_blank">Vanderlei Luxemburgo</a>, Alexandre Gallo, and Roger de Sa while club legend <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/neil-tovey-backs-miguel-gamondi-for-the-kaizer-chiefs-coaching-job-and-pitches-himself-as-the-argentine-s-assistant/bltd05b364bb8f96415" target="_blank">Neil Tovery backs Young Africans trainer Miguel Gamondi to take over.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With Chiefs out of the Nedbank Cup, they are left with seven Premier Soccer League matches before the season ends.Those games are an opportunity for Johnson to sensationally turn things around and secure second spot for the Soweto giants, a feat that might make his Naturena bosses reconsider him for a permanent job.
