After a season of ups and downs, Kaizer Chiefs were eliminated from the Nedbank Cup in a 2-1 semi-final defeat to Orlando Pirates. There will be no trophies for Chiefs once again, but there are at least two more matches for them to achieve some sought of reward by snatching third spot and a chance to play in the CAF Confederation Cup competition.
Chiefs legend Arthur Zwane took over as the club’s coach at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season and his team has been promising but, in the end, they failed to deliver much in terms of important results in key matches. This match will be a chance for Amakhosi to pick up the pieces and get a win away from home which would give them a better chance to snatch third spot.
Both matches won’t be easy for Chiefs because SuperSport are also pushing to finish second or third on the log while Cape Town City want to consolidate their place in the top eight and have a chance to finish fourth or third. Zwane will welcome third spot with open arms as it will boost his player’s experience and development of his squad.
There has been a lot of questions about Zwane being the head coach of Kaizer Chiefs and whether he is the right man for the job. Although he failed to deliver any silverware in his first season, there are a lot of positives that he can take from this season and improve on and learn from this experience.
