The Bafana Bafana legend is one of the high-profile coaches from South Africa, having been in charge of Manchester United strikers before. Currently, the former Porto FC star is the head coach of the Kenyan national team, Harambee Stars. Being one of the top-level tacticians, he has been linked with a number of teams, including the two Soweto giants.
The 48-year-old is currently the head coach of the Kenya national team and remains strongly linked with several clubs, including Kaizer Chiefs. He was also touted as a possible successor to Jose Riveiro at Orlando Pirates before the Buccaneers settled for Abdeslam Ouaddou.
The suspensions have come at quite a critical moment for Amakhosi, who desperately need to return to winning ways before things get even worse. One of the suspended stars just came from an injury, and he will not be available to offer his experience as the Glamour Boys tackle their next league opponents. The Soweto giants will host Durban City at the FNB Stadium on Sunday, March 15.
The Uruguayan has struggled for regular game time and consistent form at Amakhosi this season. His inconsistent performances have drawn mounting criticism from fans and pundits alike. More was expected from him when he arrived at Naturena from Mamelodi Sundowns in August 2024 as a high-profile signing.
As Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef struggle to stabilise the boat, questions have been asked about whether the co-coaches are the right people for the job. Initially, they appeared to be on the right course when the Glamour Boys reached the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. However, recent results have been negative, throwing the duo under the spotlight again.
