“I was the head of technical of the club and reports were presented and we realised there were certain areas we needed to work on.” Ntseki explained regarding his appointment as Amakhosi head coach.
“There was a lot of noise about other coaches coming to Kaizer Chiefs and the club never said anything about anybody coming to the club.
