Chiefs to stick with Kaze & Ben Youssef

Benedict Tso Vilakazi says he is convinced that Kaizer Chiefs will keep the duo of Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze in the hot seat next season.

The two former assistant coaches were entrusted with guiding the team this season after the club parted ways with Nasreddine Nabi in October 2025.

"I don’t suspect it, they [Chiefs management] are going to keep them [coaches]."

“I don’t suspect it, they [Chiefs management] are going to keep them [coaches],” said Tso on iDiski TV.

“I said it before that when coach Nabi went home to see his wife, I said these two coaches as they are playing, they are winning. And as they are winning, they will say we better sit with them than have Nabi back.

“When Nabi came back, I think they played two games, drew one and lost one and that’s when Nabi left, they continued. I saw it coming. Even now they will ask themselves that if we say we need a coach these guys took us from position number nine and they put us in third position, I think we are good.

“There’s [Orlando] Pirates that’s got quality good players and they have won, two, there’s [Mamelodi] Sundowns who have quality and also doing very well. So that means we are there on the course we are not far between these two teams so let’s continue with these two coaches.”

Amakhosi co-coaches have done better than Nabi

Junior Khanye believes Kaizer Chiefs’ current season under interim co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze is better than the last campaign under Nasreddine Nabi.

“If we are being honest this is a much better season,” said Khanye on iDiski TV.

“These two coaches and their players worked hard compared to last season. They are now in position three and confirmed a CAF Confederation Cup spot.

“If we are being honest this is a much better season. These two coaches and their players worked hard compared to last season."

“We have to give the coaches credit because even [Nasreddine] Nabi failed to finish in the top eight. We give the coaches credit because they won so many games and never lost so many games as well.

“Well done to Petersen, he’s also improved we must also give him credit because he wasn’t like this last season. The goalkeeping position is very important, sometimes you find that your team is not playing well but if you don’t concede it helps.

“Even [Itumeleng] Khune helped this club when he was in between the lines. Well done to Petersen in the game against Pirates he stood out and even against Sundowns he stood out. Truly speaking they needed a goalkeeper.

“And as a team they were coachable in terms of getting things right tactically, but the goalkeeper was the one who raised his hand. So, to answer you, this year is much better from Kaizer Chiefs for winning more games than they did last season.”
