KAIZER CHIEFS FIRES MOLEFI NTSEKI
Ntseki joined Kaizer Chiefs in June 2021 as Head of Technical and Youth Development after he was sacked by the South African Football Association just after 20 months as Head Coach of Bafana Bafana. He took over as the Kaizer Chiefs senior team Head Coach in June 2023.
In a statement, the Soweto giants said given the recent run of disappointing results, Molefi Ntseki’s tenure as Head Coach of Kaizer Chiefs has ended amicably by mutual consent.
The club added that this was the best course of action under the prevailing circumstances.
