Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune has opened up on his relationship with the Motaung family amid negotiations over non-playing role.
While Khune made it clear that he still wants to continue playing, he still considers the non-playing role that Chiefs are offering him.
This role has been speculated to be either a marketing or ambassadorial position.
Khune emphasized that there's no animosity between him and the Motaung family, but he believes that the professional nature of negotiations sometimes overshadows their personal relationship.
KHUNE – ‘WE HUG EACH OTHER BUT NEGOTIATIONS ARE NEGOTIATIONS’
“I do watch their games. I do support them,” Khune told the media at the launch of his partnership with TopBet.
“I do meet up with the technical team. I do meet up with the Motaung family. I went to attend Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns and I met with everyone and we still cool, we talk, we hug each other but negotiations are negotiations, we still negotiating.
“But again, there's nothing wrong with me attending the Kaizer Chiefs matches, I attend all the matches that I think I'm free to go and support because I'm now a football analyst at SABC.
“And I'm proud to say I need to watch all the matches I need to analyze all the players. I need to know the club form week in, week out and. That's my journey now.
“So whatever is gonna happen going forward, we will see what happens. But for now, I'm enjoying what I'm doing currently.”
