The deal was announced by Amakhosi on 15 June.

“Kaizer Chiefs bid farewell to defender, Siyabonga Ngezana, who has signed for Romanian Lige 1 powerhouse, Fotbal Club FCSB, formerly known as Steaua Bucharesti,” the Soweto giants reported.

“The 25-year-old Youth Development Academy graduate joins the 26-time Romanian champions for an undisclosed fee after spending seven seasons as a first-team player at Naturena, having made a goal-scoring debut against Mamelodi Sundowns in 2017,” the report added.

EARLY STRUGGLES

Since arriving at the Romanian giants in June, Ngezana spent the entire month of July and early August on the sidelines after he was found unfit and unable to cope with the higher training levels at FCSB.

Meanwhile, Ngezana was named on the bench in the club’s two recent games, and there’s even more favour on the way.

“Let’s see with Ngezana. I know that he will enter the match with Iasi,” the club’s outspoken chairman George Becali told Prezeglad Sportowy, as quoted by iDiski Times.

“In the match with Iasi, after we qualify against the Danes [Nordsjaelland], he will also feature – maybe God wants us to qualify,” Becali added.
