Kaizer Chiefs have so far confirmed the exit of Ranga Chivaviro, Edmilson Dove, Sabele Radebe, Njabulo Blom – end of loan, Mduduzi Mdantsane, and Edson Castillo.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi is keen on having players who he feels will help him realise his objectives. Flavio Silva, Ethan Chislett, Nkanyiso Shinga, Paseka Mako, Thabiso Monyane, Siphesihle Ndlovu are so far the new faces at the club.
Most of the aforementioned players are with the team in the Netherlands for pre-season and have already played a number of matches.
Last season, Chiefs struggled in the Premier Soccer League and ended up finishing ninth on the table, just a position higher than what they achieved the previous edition.
Chiefs sell their trophy-winning captain
However, they ended their decade-long trophy drought by securing the elusive Nedbank Cup which also guaranteed their participation in the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup.
Surprisingly, the management have decided to let go of captain Yusuf Maart who scored the winning goal in the 2-1 victory over traditional rivals Orlando Pirates.
The 29-year-old has served the Glamour Boys for three seasons following his arrival from Sekhukhune United. His initial deal ended at the end of the concluded campaign, but Amakhosi opted to give him a new offer.
As Afrik-Foot initially reported, Maart is on his way out of the club, after accepting a deal from an Austrian Bundesliga outfit, SV Ried. The midfielder was spotted leaving for Europe on Saturday morning with the club set to make an official announcement in the next couple of days.
It is interesting to see how his exit will impact the Soweto giants who have recently relied on him in midfield.
