He stressed, however, that how those players are used remains the decision of head coach Stuart Baxter. The son of chair and founder Kaizer Motaung said the objective for Chiefs in 2021-2022 is to salvage a seventh season without silverware, thanks to their defeat to TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup, with a top-two placing in the Premier Soccer League and a Caf Champions League spot.
“Anything can happen in the league. Sundowns can drop [points], it happened to us before. But of course it’s to make sure we can rectify [the campaign] because it has been a terrible sore point being knocked out in the first round of the Nedbank.
