Former Kaizer Chiefs star Reneilwe Letsholonyane has backed his old Amakhosi boss Stuart Baxter to find the winning formula in the midst of a difficult start to the coach's second tenure at the Soweto giants.
Letsholonyane, popularly known as “Yeye”, was part of Baxter's successful Chiefs combination that won two league and cup doubles in three years in 2012-13 and 2014-15. He later won more trophies under Baxter at SuperSport United.
Chiefs, on the back of six torrid trophyless seasons, have brought Baxter back in the hope the Englishman/Scot can, as he did in his previous stint, utilise a host of promising signings and turn around a demoralised outfit. In a patchy start to the second tenure, Amakhosi notably laboured in their last two matches - a 4-1 embarrassment to Royal AM and Sunday's poor 0-0 draw against Marumo Gallants at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Bafana Bafana 2010 World Cup star Letsholonyane cautioned that Baxter needs time to establish his best combinations and impose his philosophy on the new-look Chiefs.“I think it's early days and Stuart and the technical team need time. Unfortunately when you are involved with that team time is not a luxury.“And I think they will come right. It's just a matter of time.
Time is definitely an issue for Baxter. When he previously arrived at Chiefs they had suffered one poor, trophyless season under Vladimir Vermezovic, who admittedly left the team in some disarray.
