Kaizer Motaung Jnr says his new sporting director role at Kaizer Chiefs is a bridge between management and co-ordinating the departments of signings, football strategy and development.
Motaung Jnr was groomed for a role in senior administration after he retired in 2014 from an 11-year playing career for Chiefs where he played 106 games as a striker. The 40-year-old has been given a key role co-ordinating strategy between ex-Bafana Bafana coach Ntseki in youth and playing philosophy, Bobby Motaung in signings and contract negotiations, and Baxter as head coach.
“A head of technical obviously would have responsibilities around driving philosophy in the first team but it's very important to have created that link, even though we already had our youth set-up merging with the first team. “There are different technical elements. There are technical elements to be discussed to do with the playing philosophy, to do with certain football operations on the technical side. And that is not something that you can short-change.
“Football has to be at the core of everything. There's no point discussing sponsorships and partnerships if football is not at the core of that. And that's part of the job I've been fulfilling, and aligning that with the rest of the company's strategies.
