Pitso Mosimane, Manqoba Mngqithi and Raul Caneda’s names have all come up. Now, we know the front-runner and favourite for the Kaizer Chiefs hot seat.

Mosimane is the dream pick for Amakhosi fans.

Moreover, Mngqithi and Caneda are both very strong candidates. So, who is the front-runner and favourite to replace Cavin Johnson as head coach of Chiefs at the end of the season?

CANEDA BECOMES CHIEFS PRIORITY

Caneda is currently Amakhosi management’s priority target.

Meaning, he is the man they will try and sign before attempting to lure Mosimane or Mngqithi to Naturena.

“They believe that looking at his history he could be the one to change the team’s fortunes from next season. So for now we say he is the top priority ahead of coach Pitso (Mosimane),” the report read on SoccerLaduma.

MOSIMANE AND MNGQITHI WILL BE AVAILABLE

Both Mosimane and Mngqithi are set to be available at the end of the season. Moreover, both men have entertained the possibility of joining the Soweto giants. A few months ago, Mngqithi stated that Chiefs would be the ideal PSL club for him to coach next season.

Additionally, Mosimane made it clear that he is willing to join any club with a clear project and vision. His short-term deal with Al Abha is set to expire around the same time Amakhosi management will be appointing a permanent coach.

Therefore, if the Caneda deal falls through, Mosimane to Chiefs will be on the cards. It is up to the club to finally make him an offer. There are other candidates but in recent times the Amakhosi hierarchy has favoured local-based coaches. Although, this could change given the recent run of results from local coaches to date.

Furthermore, Adel Amrouche’s name has come up again. He joins fellow European targets Caneda and Rui Vitoria.
