Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze feels there is a lack of respect for him and his counterpart, Khalil Ben Youssef.
The two have been at the helm since Nasreddine Nabi was sacked in October last year. Under the duo, Amakhosi have challenged for the league and are currently third in the Betway Premiership after 14 matches.
After Chiefs‘ 2-0 win, Kaze lashed out, saying he felt disrespected by some journalists in the country.
“Sometimes I feel like it’s the outside people that try to create things. I’d say that sometimes there is a kind of lack of respect with some people talking about the coaching position here at Chiefs when there’s a sitting coach already, saying that ‘I’d make them (Chiefs) champions’, and when you look at the history of that coach talking about that, he’s never done that before.

Amakhosi defeated Golden Arrows 1-0 at the FNB Stadium on Tuesday evening to climb to third on the log.
Kaze said journalists talking badly about the club and the coaches will apologise by the end of the season.
“Sometimes there are journalists who refer to us (him and Ben Youssef) as ‘those two co-coaches’. They don’t even know our names… I am talking about Soccer Beat (a football outlet), actually, but we know what we’re doing; we are qualified. At the end of the season, we’ll meet, and I am pretty sure that everyone will apologise,” said the Chiefs coach.
