Sead Ramovic to take over at Kaizer Chiefs? Rulani Mokwena’s frenemy concedes, ‘it is always an honour’

CR Belouizdad coach Sead Ramovic is the latest tactician who has been heavily linked with a move to Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs.

The former TS Galaxy coach, who is remembered for his war of words with coach Rulani Mokwena, has been in Algeria, where he is coaching top-tier outfit CR Belouizdad. Interestingly, Mokwena has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the job as well.

Current co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef are expected to be let go once the season has concluded owing to the struggles experienced in critical moments of the almost-ending edition.

Celebrated coaches Benni McCarthy and Pitso Mosimane are the other tacticians who might take over at the Naturena Village.

Kaizer Chiefs are biggest and historic

“I have a lot of respect for my colleagues, and for that reason it would be very disrespectful for me to comment on speculation about a club that already has a coach. They are people I respect deeply, not only as coaches but also as great human beings,” he said as quoted by Soccer Laduma.

“What I can say is that Kaizer Chiefs is one of the biggest and most historic clubs in African football, with incredible supporters, a strong football culture, and a long tradition of developing talented players.

“It is a club that has a special place in South African football. Of course, when a coach’s name is mentioned in connection with a club of that stature, it is always an honour and recognition of the work being done by the players and staff around me.

“But my responsibility today is with my team and my players at CR Belouizdad. At the moment, our full focus is on the semi-final of the Algerian Cup and the quarter-final of the CAF competition (against Al Masry).

“Last season we also reached the (Algerian Cup) final, but unfortunately we lost it (against USM Alger). Our objective now is to work hard, reach the final again, and this time try to win the trophy,” Ramovic Concluded.
