Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr has expressed his
optimism for the club’s future, despite a difficult start to the season in
both the Premiership and the MTN8.
Motaung Jr has been busy bolstering the squad this season, and is now
looking to build a team that can compete over the next four to five years.
“We have a very new team,” he told the media.
“Nine players this year and also from last year, coupled with youngsters
from the Academy. It takes time to get a consistent base with all these
players from different backgrounds.” “We took a conscious effort to
improve in key areas which we thought were very important for us to fix in
the short term,” he continued.
“But it is also in line with the longer term. We can’t be too busy trying
to fix all the holes immediately. I think we are having a good mix of
youth and experience in the team.”
Motaung Jr admitted that the club’s current position is not where it
wants to be, but he is confident in the squad assembled and believes it
will reap rewards in the future.
“We are very confident in the squad we have assembled,” he said. “And we
are not finished by any regard. We are always to evolve and take things
further.”
