Latest news about Kaizer Chiefs in the last 24 hours, including Amakhosi-linked Mngqithi leaving Golden Arrows, Glody Lilepo’s latest news, and more.

Chiefs-linked Mngqithi parts ways with Arrows

Golden Arrows have officially parted ways with Manqoba Mngqithi earlier this week.

Mngqithi guided the team to its first top-eight finish since the 2020/21 season but his third Arrows stint has come to an end.

Arrows finished in sixth place in the Betway Premiership standings, accumulating 41 points from their 30 league fixtures during the 2025/26 season.

This was Mngqithi’s third stint in the Arrows dugout, where he spearheaded the team for 46 matches—winning 17, drawing 11, and losing 18.

Latest on Lilepo

Despite reports claiming that several clubs are interested in Kaizer Chiefs winger Glody Lilepo, the Siya crew have been informed on the latest surrounding the Congolese winger.

An insider close to the club has revealed to Soccer Laduma that the Congolese winger will still be at the club next season and shut down rumours linking the player with a departure.

“That’s useless. Lilepo is here. Lilepo is around. There is nothing like that. He is not going anywhere,” the insider revealed.

The 28-year-old former Valenciennes SC winger joined Amakhosi last year and ,in his first season, proved to be one of the best signings under then coach Nasereddine Nabi.

Bring Scottland over!

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Zhaimu ‘Jimmy’ Jambo has hailed Zimbabwean PSL champions Scottland FC as ideal opponents for Amakhosi in the 2026 Toyota Cup.

Jambo, who hails from Zimbabwe, has justified why Scottland are the perfect opponents for the Glamour Boys, mainly noting how they have changed the football landscape in their home country. 

“I think it’s going to be a great game altogether, knowing the momentum that Scottland have and also the experience they have in former Chiefs players Khama Billiat and Knowledge Musona,” Jambo told the media. 

“They also have former PSL players in [Terrence] Dzvukamanja and all these players. The coach Norman Mapeza also has an understanding of PSL football.

“It’s going to be a good game altogether for football. Knowing Kaizer Chiefs, how they finished the season last season and coming into next season, I think they have a good base. We are going to have a good game.

“I’m hoping that at the end of the day, it will unite the Zimbabweans. One thing that I want to say regarding having Scottland coming in is that, lately, Zimbabwean football has been going down. But now they have come into the fold. You can now see how the supporters are back in stadiums. There is a lot of noise coming from the Zimbabwean side regarding Zimbabwean football.”
