Kaizer Chiefs’ Sporting Director Kaizer Jnr has revealed he has some positive implementations to introduce in the near future.

KAIZER JNR SAYS KAIZER CHIEFS ARE BUILDING SUSTAINABLE CHANGES

Following his appointment as the SD last year, Kaizer Jnr has suggested that he has ideas that will go beyond the footballing side.

“For me, assuming the role of a sporting director is very exciting because it is at the core of building long term sustainable plans for the organisation,” he said as quoted by Soccer Laduma.

“There’s different touch points on my side that are not just focused on the football side of the business.

“What’s important is that it’s given me the last couple of months to do a proper assessment, you are inheriting a squad, seven years of certain strategies that clearly aren’t working and it’s about being true and honest to the process and saying, “what are the ways to bring proper change”. 

“I know we look at things season to season, but if we are honest with ourselves, looked at the past and seen what hasn’t worked…there’s a whole new direction that we have to take.”

EXCITING IDEAS ON THE WAY

According to the former striker, new concepts will be introduced to the Kaizer Chiefs to make the brand more powerful and sustainable.

Massive plans are expected to evolve the mighty Amakhosi corporation from the business side to player recruitment that focuses on youth development.

“A lot of plans that people are only going to see flowing through the next couple of years because there’s long, short and medium term.

“With us at the moment we have to find that proper balance and we have to succeed now. There’s a lot of hard work being put in, but more work is need, I think, from my side,” he said.

“If you want to look at the models that really work in football, often times people look at the commercial muscle and buying power. 

“But the plans and strategy that are working at the clubs, you have to look at the youth set up. Head of technical obviously would have responsibilities around driving the philosophy elements in the first team, but it is very important to have a link.

“Even though we had our youth set up merging with the first team set up, that link was very important and with that comes a lot of responsibility. 

“Mr. Ntseki has taken up that role with existing staff members, there’s massive plans as to how we can evolve that and change it,” concluded Motaung Jnr.
