Kaizer Chiefs’ problem isn’t just the coach but players, says ex-Khosi winger

Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye feels Amakhosi should have signed more quality players this transfer window.

The Soweto giants only brought in five new players as they look to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

Khanye, who played for Chiefs in the early to mid 2000s, argued that the club needed better players to compete for top honours.

“For me, Chiefs’ problem isn’t just about the coach. I feel they should have signed more quality players,” he told Soccer Laduma.

“I also feel there are players who should be doing more to give the club more in their performances, and [Sibongiseni] Mthethwa is one of those players.”

“If he isn’t able to give the club more, then he might as well have been released.

“I’ve got nothing against the guy’s personality, and I respect him so much, but I don’t think he is giving the team what he should be giving,” he added.

Khanye praised the midfield duo of Siphesihle Ndlovu and Lebohang Maboe. The two alongside Mthethwa have been intrumental this season for Kaizer Chiefs.

“Compliments to Siphesihle Ndlovu and Lebohang Maboe.

“They have improved a lot and have been doing well, and they should keep up the good work because more of their improved performances will go a long way in helping the team going forward.

“I need to be honest and compliment the guys because there has been a good change, and their improved performances in midfield have contributed to the team.”

Kaizer Chiefs are currently fourth in the Betway Premiership with three wins from seven matches.
