Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung has shared the club’s plans for the second stanza of the season as the PSL is on break due to the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The club’s chief has confirmed that contrary to reports in the media, they are yet to contact out-of-job manager Pitso Mosimane.

Chiefs have continued to engage in friendly matches and tournaments in a bid to get their players in shape.
In a chat with Sunday World, Motaung stated that there are no plans to replace interim coach Cavin Johnson.
He said:
“The coach (Johnson) is still continuing with his job. We have not spoken to any other coach.
“About coach Pitso, it was shocking to read about the things we do not know in the media. We have never engaged Pitso, we never interviewed Pitso. Not even a proposal was sent to him. We were surprised to read that Pitso rejected our offer,” he said.
“We are trying to stabilise the team at the moment. Issues of the coach will be discussed later. If you check, the momentum at the team is good. We do not want to disturb that.”
