Kaizer Chiefs Transfer News: Here is Belgian coach Amakhosi have ‘made contact’

Kaizer Chiefs are in the market for a new tactician after parting ways with co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef on Tuesday.

The duo has been in charge of the Glamour Boys since the sacking of Tunisian Nasreddine Nabi just six games into the 2025/26 Premier Soccer League campaign. In their brief stint at the helm, Amakhosi finished third on the table for the first time in six years.

However, they struggled to deliver in other competitions, notably the Nedbank Cup and Carling Knockout. The Soweto giants did quite well in the CAF Confederation Cup, narrowly missing the knockout phase despite a tough group that included Zamalek, Al Masr, and ZESCO United.

The Chiefs’ management felt they needed to make a change in the technical team, which explains the decision made.

Who has been tipped to take over?

“Former Wydad AC and CR Belouizdad coach Sven Vandenbroeck has been shortlisted for the now vacant position ahead of the new season,” Kick Off reported.

“There are a number of coaches that have been linked to the head coach position at Kaizer Chiefs. There has been contact with one Belgian coach (Vandenbroeck) and there are chances that he might join Chiefs.

“Vandenbroeck has also coached Simba, AS FAR Rabat and the Zambian national team during his time in Africa,” they concluded.

Reports have it that Pitso Mosimane and Bafana Bafana legend Benni McCarthy are also being considered by the club. Former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi has also been heavily linked with a move to the Naturena Village.
