Kaizer Chiefs relieves Jimmy Tau of his captaincy and appoints Itumeleng Khune as the team’s new skipper

Itumeleng Khune will be supported by a committee of the following players: Tinashe Nengomasha, Kaizer Motaung JNR, George Lebese and Lawrence Molekwane.

The club said in a statement "the appointment follows deliberations within the Club and Coach’s decision as a result of the media speculation surrounding Jimmy Tau’s tenure as captain".

"The Club wishes to put it on record that Jimmy Tau did not send an email to the Club resigning as a captain and further that there was no 'bust up' between the Head Coach, Vladimir Vermezovic and Jimmy Tau as reported in the media," the statement added.
