Molefi Ntseki's appointment as the new Kaizer Chiefs coach came out of left field.

If there were indeed solid talks with Nasreddine Nabi — which the Tunisian told Sunday Times this weekend there were — they seem to have broken down over back room staff issues. Nabi won back-to-back league and cup doubles with Yanga in Tanzania the past two seasons, though would have been an unknown quantity in how he could adapt, especially culturally, to South African football.

But Amakhosi have had two years to look at Ntseki close up, and must have been impressed with what they have seen and worked with. Ntseki has a huge task in front of him. Chiefs for far too long have too often not bought players genuinely capable of carrying such a heavy jersey. The scale of Mamelodi Sundowns’ domination was reinforced when they romped to a sixth title in succession by 16 points over second-placed Orlando Pirates in 2022-23.
