Kaizer Chiefs signalled their intentions for the coming Premier Soccer League (PSL) season when the club announced the signing of eight new players on Monday.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns captain Ramahlwe Mphahlele‚ Zimbabweans Edmore Chirambadare and Michelle Katsvairo‚ midfielders Enocent Mkhabela and Sibusiso Khumalo‚ Zambian striker Lewis Macha‚ Keagan Buchanan from Bloemfontein Celtic and young striker Emmanuel Letlotlo were all unveiled at a packed press conference.
Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung said the club was not done in the transfer market yet and more players would be announced in the coming days.
“These are not our final signings this season and we will add two or three more signings in the coming days‚” Motaung said.
“Coach Steve (Komphela) gave us input as to what he needed and we supported him.
Chiefs also announced a new technical team for the coming season and Ghanaian John Paintsil‚ who worked with Komphela when they were together at Maritzburg United‚ was appointed as the new assistant coach.
Last season’s assistant coach‚ Doctor Khumalo‚ has been moved to a still to be identified new role and Motaung was at pains to explain that the decision shouldn’t be viewed in a negative light.
Brazilian Alexandre Revoredo was announced as goalkeeper coach and his countryman Marco Aurelio Munhoz is now the new physical trainer.
Motaung said he hoped the club would write an exciting new chapter in its football history after the disappointment of finishing last season without a bare trophy cabinet.
Chiefs surrendered their league title without putting up much of a fight last season and they watched as Sundowns won domestic football’s Holy Grail by a record 71 points.
Stung by a distant fifth place finish and the meek manner in which they surrendered their title to Sundowns‚ Chiefs sprung into action early this month and released 20 players in a massive clear out that signalled their intent.
If the off-season transfer activity is anything to go by‚ the coming season will be a spectacular one for fans.
