Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. has commented on the current plight of the club.

Amakhosi trail their Soweto rivals by just three points but their current form remains a massive concern. They’ve only got one PSL win since the turn of the year. Chiefs fans booed their own side after a 3-2 defeat to Golden Arrows and chanted “Arthur must go” in the direction of Arthur Zwane.

Motaung Jr addresses Kaizer Chiefs concerns

Kaizer Jr has called for support for the club’s players and technical staff ahead of Saturday’s derby.

“At a time like this, I think as management, whether we have from the board of directors, our chairman down through the rest of management, it’s about creating the right environment for the players to thrive – bringing the right players, having top an infrastructure, making the right decisions,” he said.

“Right now, as we stand right now, we have a very young team, a new new team, and the results are only achieved on Saturday or the week after, from the players on the pitch. That’s the situation we find ourselves in right now.

“From our side, it’s about planning adequately for the immediate future, and making sure that we make the right decisions that will enhance our learning.

Motaung Jr calls for calmness and support

“But at the same time, we do ask for some calmness and support from the Amakhosi faithful. It’s difficult and none of us are happy with our position in the league.

“We have begun to play a brand of football that our fans can identify with, but it’s got to come with results, not on any illusions. It’s a fact. And we are gonna be judged and are accountable if we don’t deliver that.

“So we asked for support from players, the Derby is coming up and we have these young, promising faces, who are going to go out and give everything they can to make sure that supporters smile, that our supporters are proud and have pride in what they see on the pitch.

“It is tough like this right now and in times when things are tough [are] when you start to see the real character of people, when you start to see the real character of the individual, and we only ask for support from the fans.

“So support for technical staff, the players when they go onto the field, you can be there for them, give the strength they need and they’ll go out there and give their best.”
