Kaizer Chiefs have had plenty of time to dwell on a disappointing defeat to Golden Arrows. What’s next for the Glamour Boys?
The uphill battle for an MTN8 place continues for Kaizer Chiefs
The Glamour Boys host TS Galaxy on Saturday, 05 April in their next Betway Premiership match. Kickoff is at 15:00. A defeat against Golden Arrows last time out has cranked up the pressure on head coach Nasreddine Nabi, who simply has to secure a top-eight finish to keep his job. Fourth-placed Galaxy are six points ahead of Chiefs in fourth place, although eighth-placed Chiefs do have a game in hand on the Rockets.
Is Jodwana the answer?
According to Soccer Laduma, Kaizer Chiefs are plotting a move for 31-year-old Durban City midfielder Athini Jodwana. The compact schemer has made three appearances in this season’s Nedbank Cup. He’s been a top-level player before, too, after a stint with Chippa.
“He is one of the local players that they have been monitoring. They are exploring all possibilities as they may not sign some of the desired and wanted players. But he is also a very good midfielder with experience, having played for Chippa United before. So as much as they have enquired about him, they are still believed to be looking at finalising the shopping list for next season, and Athini Jodwana is one of them,” the source revealed.
Will Chiefs finish inside the top eight?
