Three days later, Kaizer Chiefs announced the appointment of fired Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki as its head of technical and the youth development academy. Ntseki is on a three-year contract but has the option to renew for a further two years.

The return of Stuart Baxter as coach: June 9

This week Amakhosi announced that former coach Stuart Baxter signed a two-year contract, with the option to extend for another two years, after the sacking of Hunt.

Motaung said Zwane and Sheppard would remain as assistant coaches. He spoke glowingly of Baxter, whom he said understands the team and its culture.

He said there were no issues bringing Baxter back as he left on good terms and after winning the league trophy in 2015. 

“We believe he will be able to work within our current set-up and will use the time to understand some of the players he’s not familiar with. We need the coach to have enough time and prepare adequately for the new season,” said Motaung.
