Kaizer Chiefs founder and chairman Kaizer Motaung has urged the Amakhosi faithful to give new head coach Molefi Ntseki a chance.
Ntseki’s appointment has been met with a lot of criticism from fans of the Glamour Boys, but Motaung has encouraged fans to be reasonable.
“I think the coach just needs to be given a chance to do his job because as you are well aware that when the announcement was made about the appointment of… or should I say the re-deployment of the coach to the first team, brought a lot of mixed feelings from a lot of people. Obviously, talk is cheap,” Motaung said on the sidelines of the launch of their new Kappa jersey at The Galleria Conference and Events Venue in Eastgate on Tuesday night.

“It’s easy to criticise but you can only criticise something that has gone through the test and say ‘this thing isn’t right’. History will show you that all the coaches that we brought, even from abroad none of them had won anything or had any success where they came from. The criticism that has been levelled against him [Ntseki] that been very, very unfair because he hasn’t even started doing anything with the team.”
The Amakhosi owner expanded by also taking a swipe at social media users, insinuating that’s where the anti-Ntseki campaigns are fuelled. “It’s unfortunate that because of social media today people are at liberty to say anything, anyhow, anywhere because of the excitement of social media,” Motaung noted.
“The only time they [most of previous coaches] made success was when they came to Kaizer Chiefs and they found the set-up the way it was. We hope that Ntseki can be given that opportunity to do his job and then we can see after sometime if we can criticise him or something like that.”
