Kaizer Jr – More Technical Team Changes To Come

Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr has revealed more changes to the club’s technical team will be announced soon.

The Glamour Boys were busy last week, releasing as many as nine players as well as goalkeeper coach Lee Baxter.

Motaung Jr, though, has explained that the departure of Lee Baxter and the appointment of Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard will not be the only changes in the club’s technical team.

“So there are going to be some further changes to the technical make-up but in terms of the coaching side, the head coach and assistant, there won’t be a second assistant,” he told iDiski Times in an exclusive interview. 

“But there will be some other announcements that will be made in other areas on the technical set-up, high performance and other areas of the technical staff.”

When asked whether the changes might come after the many injuries Chiefs had in recent seasons, Kaizer Jr said the club is striving to improve their high-performance side.

“It’s a good question because that’s what people need to understand, it’s not all one component, it’s not just about the coach and the system,” he added.

“There are many changes that we have had to make and that we will be making. So there is going to be a significant shift in direction on our high-performance side and I think the supporters will be very happy with the changes that we made. 

“Of course, it’s in line with how we intend to play. So it’s very important to get the right mix between the football brand that your technical staff wants to produce and the high-performance side. 

“So that’s going to be an integral part and a very important understanding individual who is there, not just a fitness and conditioning coach and players running up and down. 

“It is about making it specific to your game model, so that’s why it took a lot of time for us and the candidates that we have chosen for a very specific reason.“
