“I wasn’t surprised by Chiefs’ decision to appoint Ntseki as head coach.” Larsen said as quoted by Citizen.

“He is a knowledgeable coach who, with the right support, can surpass expectations. His management style has always impressed me.

“I have no doubt that Ntseki will create a fantastic atmosphere at Kaizer Chiefs. I believe that Ntseki is up for the task.

“Let’s not shoot the man down even before he starts. In a nutshell, I think Ntseki will bring a very fast attacking style of football at Chiefs.”
