Khune's Proposed New Chiefs Role
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA - MAY 25: Itumeleng Khune of Kaizer Chiefs warming up prior the DStv Premiership match between Cape Town Spurs and Kaizer Chiefs at DHL Stadium on May 25, 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Kaizer Chiefs' Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Junior has provided a bit more clarity on the next steps in the illustrious career of veteran goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune.The 36-year-old is out of contract and was left out of the club's pre-season tour, meaning he had no chance to make an impression on the club's new technical team.
"I think as time goes on we'll be able to give away more information. At the start of the season we sat down with Itu , we spoke and we released a statement as far as his playing contract. We assessed and we sat down with Itu and we see him playing a very valuable role within this institution," Motaung Junior told journalists at the club's 2024/25 kit launch.
"He has contributed tremendously to this institution and is a living legend. I think he has a lot to offer whether it's with the academy players or the senior players in various roles. So, I think as time goes on, we'll be able to divulge the next steps with Itu - but he's very much an important part of this family, this organisation and this team.
"As the weeks unfold, we'll be able to release a bit more information, but a person who has achieved and been at one club like he has, I think he's a part of the fabric in this cloth for everything in this team and we are privileged to have someone like him at this team, especially at such an important time," he added.For 14 free days, you can have access to the best from Soccer Laduma, KickOff, Daily Sun, TrueLove and Drum.
