On Tuesday, following Kaizer Chiefs’ 4-0 defeat to AmaZulu, Junior Khanye, a former footballer-turned-analyst, has identified a suitable position for Arthur Zwane at the club. Khanye believes that Zwane should be moved from head coach to a scouting role.
“I am not surprised at what is happening for the club because I saw it coming but the most unfortunate thing is that I had a lot of people in South Africa criticizing me for pointing out some of the things I thought were not being done right by the club. I’m glad that I have been proven right on some of the things I said. I mentioned when the season started that Arthur is inexperienced as a coach for a big club like Chiefs,” Khanye said.

Khanye believes that Zwane’s experience with the club’s juniors and his understanding of the culture make him an ideal candidate for scouting. “Scouting would be a suitable position for him, having worked with the club’s juniors and knowing what is needed for a player to play for Chiefs from a young age,” he said.
Khanye went on to say that Zwane has not proven himself as a head coach for a big club like Chiefs. “Where did Arthur prove himself that he can be a Kaizer Chiefs senior team head coach? Yes, his team has improved compared to the other previous Chiefs’ coaches but I don’t think he is the right coach for the team at this present moment. Conceding four goals against AmaZulu leaves much to be desired and there are a lot of lessons to be learned,” he added.
