Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly narrowed their managerial shortlist to foreign bosses.

BREAKING: Spanish coach interested in Kaizer Chiefs job


Kaizer Chiefs going global

The top brass at Amakhosi are intent on hiring a foreign boss to take the club forward.

“Indications are that Chiefs will be going for a foreign coach,” the statement read on SoccerLaduma. That would rule out Pitso Mosimane and current interim boss Cavin Johnson. Meanwhile, it opens the door for the likes of Ruud Krol and Ernst Middendorp. There’s also a Spanish boss in the frame, a man who knows Man City’s treble-winning manager Pep Guardiola well.

WOW: Amakhosi need Rassie Erasmus!

Caneda wants the job

Raul Caneda, one of Pep Guardiola’s confidants, is interested in the top job at Kaizer Chiefs. That’s according to SoccerLaduma. The 54-year-old tactician has worked as an assistant at Almeria and Real Sociedad in Spain’s LaLiga. He also has vast experience coaching in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. In addition, he was the football coordinator for the Real Madrid football school in 2002 and 2003. He is close to Man City manager Pep Guardiola.
