Junior Khanye not convinced with Bafana Bafana: iDiski Times

Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye is expecting Kaizer Chiefs to struggle this season.

The 38-year-old former superstar has been critical of his former club for years and last month when they unveiled Molefi Ntseki as their new coach, Khanye said the club was again heading in the wrong direction.

“Why did Chiefs appoint Ntseki as a head of technical and youth development when they made Arthur head coach?” Khanye asked in an interview with FARPost. “Where does he get the experience to take out the best of players at an early age? Ensure that young and exciting players are promoted.

“I knew that he would eventually take over as head coach and it happened after Arthur failed. And it is funny how all the past coaches that failed at Chiefs were fired, but Arthur is deployed as an assistant coach, why? What will he and Ntseki fix?”.

Khanye critical of new Kaizer Chiefs coach

Khanye has never been a fan of Ntseki, even during his Bafana Bafana days.

Towards the end of June, Chiefs shocked many fans when they appointed Ntseki as their new head coach.

“There is nothing better that he has done. I saw him at SA junior level as well, there is nothing special. So clearly the club has no ambitions.

“Things are getting worse at the club. It was Arthur and now Ntseki. So, unfortunately, Chiefs won’t win anything in the new season with Ntseki. The coach might not even finish the season because he doesn’t have a solid relationship with the club like Arthur,” Khanye said.
