Bulgarian Coach’s Name Emerges on List of Chiefs Candidates

On Saturday, Kaizer Chiefs announced that they had parted ways with Molefi Ntseki and replaced him with Cavin Johnson as the head coach. Since then, several coaches have been linked with the club, including Nasreddine Nabi, Manqoba Mngqithi, Muhsin Ertugral, Sven Vandenbroeck, and Paul Smalley.

Now, sources have revealed that Bulgarian mentor Dimitar Pantev has become one of the latest coaches to be offered to the club. Pantev is currently the head coach at FC Johansen in the Sierra Leonean National Premier League.

“Dimitar Pantev is an experienced coach who is currently the head coach of FC Johansen in Sierra Leone. He has always been interested in coaching in Africa and an opportunity at a big club like Chiefs is of interest to him. The coach’s representatives in South Africa have been given a mandate to look for opportunities for him and Chiefs are one of the clubs he is being offered to,” said the source.

The 47-year-old UEFA A Licence holder is a five-time Bulgarian League Champion who has previously been voted for as the best coach in that country.
