When Baxter took charge of his first domestic spell at the club in 2012, he took on Sundowns in the quarter-finals of the MTN 8.

Amakhosi may have lost that tie 4-1 but it would prove to be a good omen for Chiefs. For the rest of the season, they became the ‘Trophy Kings’ of SA, winning the PSL and Nedbank Cup that same year!

Baxter completed the league and domestic ‘double’ and set the tone for the rest of the clubs in SA.
