IF Kaizer Chiefs beat Polokwane City tomorrow night and win the Premier Soccer League title, they will increase their record number of championship titles to 12.

Chiefs won their first title in 1974 and have added 10 more in the subsequent four decades of competition in the old National Professional Soccer League, National Soccer League and now the Premier Soccer League.

The 11 titles already under their belt is two more than arch-rivals Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns, who have had more success in a shorter period, as the Brazilians only won their first championship in 1988.

Chiefs need a victory at FNB Stadium over City to win a second title in three seasons, returning to the form they showed 10 years ago when they won in 2004 and 2005.

Ted Dumitru was coach then and his achievement will be matched by Stuart Baxter if Chiefs win the title this season.

But Jeff Butler remains the most successful Chiefs coach with three titles in 1989, 1991 and 1992.

Doctor Khumalo's late father, Elkiam "Pro" Khumalo, was in charge in 1974 and again in 1982 when Chiefs won the title and Kaizer Motaung (1977) and Mario Tuani (1979) are Chiefs' other championship-winning coaches.
