Khune switching careers? Chiefs legend tries his hand at new sport

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune was known for his goalkeeping heroics during his 25-year stay at the club but it seems he is also good at another sport.

Khune left Chiefs at the end of the 2023-24 season and has not played since but he is yet to officially hang his gloves after admitting that he still feels good enough to play.

But as he awaits his next move in football, Khune is trying his hands at another sport having taken to the tennis court alongside his wife Sphelele Makhunga.

What does the future hold for Khune?

From photos posted on his Instagram account, Khune can be seen enjoying the game of tennis with Makhunga as the couple laugh and teach each other how to use the racquet.

Khune may not have been playing but he has kept himself busy with punditry duties on SABC while he also oversees his business.

The former Bafana Bafana star was also said to have been offered a role by Chiefs although the nature of the job or if he accepted it has never been confirmed.

Chiefs legend shone for club and country

Khune has also previously expressed a desire to join the Bafana Bafana setup to work with the goalkeepers and it remains to be seen what the future holds for him on the pitch.

Khune made 91 Bafana Bafana appearances from 2008-2020, and even captained the side, representing his country at the 2010 World Cup, 2013 Africa Cup of Nations as well as the 2016 Rio Olympics, where he was one of the overage players for South Africa.

The 38-year-old spent 25 years at Chiefs, winning 12 trophies, including three league titles, in 347 appearances in all competitions.
