Khune says Chiefs will “challenge for a lot of trophies” this season

Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune says the club will challenge for trophies this coming season.

The Glamour Boys have not won a single trophy in eight years making this their longest trophy drought in their history.

Speaking in Tanzania, Khune said the club has not delivered in almost a decade which is unfair to the supporters.

Khune says Chiefs failed to deliver for eight years

“Kaizer Chiefs is a Club that has rich history in winning cups and it’s not fair that for the past eight years we haven’t been delivering as expected, but with the quality of players that we brought in this season, I think we will challenge for a lot of trophies back at home,” Khune said.

Last month, the long serving keeper was handed a new contract which will see him play for Amakhosi for one final season. As the top player at the club, Khune isconstantly involved with the fans and communities that follow them.

“As a big Club, we have social responsibilities. We are not only focused on the pitch. For example, last week we were hosting coaching clinics with schools from Zola, in one of the townships in Soweto. We know that we have to plow back to our fans because they go all out in supporting us.
