Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr has expressed his support for the club’s technical team amid criticism they have received this season.
Motaung Jr stated that the team is being backed by the club and that they are using this FIFA international break to work on areas which need to be rectified.
“We support the whole technical staff. We support all the players. We are using this FIFA break to tighten things a bit. The technical staff is using this FIFA break to work on all the aspects which need to get rectified,” said Motaung Jr.
He also appealed to the Chiefs supporters to rally behind the team and be the ’12th man’ with their voices in the stands. “Of course for everyone associated with the badge, we are asking our supporters also to support the guys. Be that the 12th man with the voice in the stands. We need them. We understand where they are coming from and we ask them to support the technical team. Support the players! Come in now. We have a new trophy in the Carling Black Label Knockout Cup to fight for. We have a positive outlook. We urge everyone to rally behind them and look forward,” said Motaung Jr.
The plea from Motaung Jr follows Chiefs having to pay fines due to the ‘misconduct’ of their fans in the stands.
He is hoping that the supporters will embrace the new trophy and rally behind the team as they look to compete for it.
