To the majority of the Chiefs fan base, Ntseki was already an unpopular appointment, with no positive track record. Prior to taking over the first team reigns, he had never coached a senior professional side. He did, however, coach Bafana Bafana after Stuart Baxter, before being fired for failing to qualify for AFCON 2021. The duo reunited as part of a new structure at Amakhosi, which put him in charge of football development.

Ntseki did not last long as Chiefs coach, however, being sacked before even the halfway mark of the season. This came after an unconvincing start to the campaign which also saw them knocked out of two cups. After being relieved of his duties, the club appointed Johnson to take over on an interim basis. Coincidently, Cavin Johnson also came into the club in a developmental role, before being asked to steady the senior ship.

A run which saw Chiefs winning three of their last four games of 2024, saw Johnson in with a shout. But now according to the latest, the club are back looking at other candidates. According to Soccer-Laduma they have a shortlist of five coaches.
Five coaches on Chiefs shortlist
“There are five coaches currently shortlisted by the club (Chiefs) and these include Pitso Mosimane and Manqoba Mngqithi. There are two from Europe and one from South America but they want to cut that down to at least two or three before making the final decision.” Said the source.

2023/24 season will go down as yet another failed campaign for Chiefs, as it will end trophy less. They can now focus their attentions to finishing as high up the table as possible.
