While Kaizer Chiefs plan to give it their all in an attempt to win the Nedbank Cup, assistant coach Dillon Sheppard says qualifying for the Caf Champions League over the Confederation Cup is a top priority for the club.
“It has to be. It's the top competition and this club deserves to be there. With the stature of the club and its history, that is the space that we need to be talking about.
“Yes, this cup gives us an opportunity to play in the Confederation Cup but to be honest, we want to have a Champions League spot.”Casric bought the first division franchise of Free State Stars in August 2022 and relocated the team to Mpumalanga. Amakhosi have suffered some infamous embarrassments against clubs from lower divisions in the Nedbank, including being knocked out by Richards Bay FC — then still in the NFD — last season. Chiefs lost to first division TS Galaxy in the 2019 final.Sheppard said this time they won’t be caught off guard as they have done extensive scouting of Casric.“We have got two loanees there, [Keletso] Sifama and [Sibusiso] Milazi, and we have obviously been monitoring them and their performances,” he said.
