Kaizer Chiefs finished 2024-2025 with some much-needed silverware. What’s on the cards for the Glamour Boys during pre-season?
Kaizer Chiefs pre-season tour in Europe again?
According to unconfirmed local reports, Chiefs will tour Europe again during the pre-season. Before the start of 2024-2025, the Glamour Boys headed to Turkey.
Is Mdu Shabalala at the last-chance saloon for his Kaizer Chiefs career?
At the start of 2024-2025, Mdu Shabalala was a critical component in the Chiefs side, operating from the number 10 role. His output was healthy, too. However, that has dwindled dramatically. After 27 league appearances, he’s only got four goals and an assist. His decision-making can also be questioned; with three men ahead of him and only two defenders, an easy pass would have guaranteed that Chiefs doubled their lead against Pirates in their league encounter earlier this month. Instead, he carelessly gave it away, and the Sea Robbers scored on the break through Evidence Makgopa.
Kaizer Chiefs tempted by a move for Coetzee?
Mamelodi Sundowns won’t be extending the contracts of defender Rivaldo Coetzee and midfielder Sipho Mbule. 28-year-old Coetzee has been riddled with injury issues since moving to Sundowns in 2017 from Ajax Cape Town. Meanwhile, 27-year-old Mbule has struggled with off-pitch issues and battled to claim a place in the Downs XI for sustained periods.
