Dylan Kerr insists he has what it takes to help Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs win the Premier Soccer League.

The Glamour Boys have been struggling to win titles, with their only one, in ten years, being the Nedbank Cup under the then coach Nasreddine Nabi. Their last league crown came in 2014/15 season and since then, the closest they have come was finish second in the 2019/20 edition.

Former Marumo Gallants coach Kerr believes he can help the Glamour Boys secure the South Africa top-flight crown. The 58-year-old has has initially coached Baroka FC, the now-defunct Moroka Swallows, Black Leopards, and Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila.

Kerr, who is currentlly working for Soccer Stars United in the United States, believes Amakhosi have all the quality to conquer Mzansi. Currently, co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze have the mandate to guide the team until the end of the ongoing campaign.

“If I were to be offered a job at Kaizer Chiefs, I would swim across the Mediterranean Sea right into Kaizer Motaung’s house. You want the league? I can do it. I have always said that,” he told SoccerBeat.

“If you look at the players that play for Chiefs, [Orlando] Pirates, [Mamelodi] Sundowns, and Stellenbosch FC—all the so-called big teams—in the last two or three years, I would say plenty of them use players who were my players from Black Leopards, TTM, Moroka Swallows, and Marumo Gallants.

“So, I would 100% win the league with Chiefs. I would get them [players] to play for me. If you go back to the knockout cup [Nedbank Cup with TTM in 2021, beating Chippa United in the final] during COVID-19, I had 28 players, got two weeks to train, and went on to play in Durban and Johannesburg in the final.

“It doesn’t matter who you are or what you are, as long as you always get the players to put on the jersey and go play and fight for you on the field. So, that is all it takes,” Kerr concluded.
