The 31-year-old Manyama, who spent four years at Naturena and claimed the 2016/17 Player of the Season award, joined Kaizer Chiefs from Konyaspor having previously played for the Citizens.
Comitis told Kickoff: “If a player like that becomes available I’d need to present it to the coach.
“We are willing to make a determination, obviously, we will need a deep squad next season.
“Experience is definitely something we will be looking for.
“Qualifying for the CAF Championship League has always been my dream, it’s just that now we will take it seriously.”
