Why Kaizer Chiefs will be a different team next season
Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Mokete Tsotetsi feels his former club will be a different team next season. Amakhosi have finished outside the top 8 in back-to-back seasons for the first time in PSL history. Under Nasredine Nabi, the club has not shown much improvement; however, they ended their 10-year trophyless run when they won the Nedbank Cup. 'Chiefs went to Turkey last season and they did well in the early stages of the league. Remember there was a reshuffling of the technical team after the first assistant left and then they had to bring in another one,' Tsotetsi told Soccer Laduma . 'Going to Netherlands now, it will be good for them because they are going to be preparing against teams that will give them a challenge to prepare for the league. In Netherlands, they are usually good tactically, so I think it can help Chiefs in establishing a good structure in their line-up. I think they will come back a different team. They will come back a better team.' Kaizer Chiefs have parted ways with five players but are yet to confirm any new signings. The likes of Ranga Chivaviro and Edmilson Dove are amongst the departed players meaning the Soweto giants might be eyeing to sign a few foreign players.

'He is a problem to defenders': Tsotetsi backs Kaizer Chiefs forward to shine
Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Mokete Tsotetsi has backed Wandile Duba to lead the Amakhosi attack for years to come. Duba has scored six goals in 22 matches across all competitions for Amakhosi this season and has been one of Amakhosi's few bright sparks. At 20, the young forward still has a lot to learn. 'Duba has been doing well for Chiefs. He is still young, but age is just a number. The way the coach manages him will be important for the team,' Tsotetsi said to Soccer Laduma . 'There was a period when he was injured and before that, he was scoring goals, and he was a problem for teams. When he was not available, I thought Chiefs struggled a bit. 'He came back and became a problem again for defenders. He is a young player who is ready to take the position (upfront). Tsotetsi feels Duba is ready to make a name for himself at Kaizer Chiefs. The 20-year-old scored in Amakhosi's 2-1 win over Mamelodi Sundowns this past weekend to help his side reach the Nedbank Cup final. 'He is eager to learn and make a name for himself. I think he is ready. It will be important how they manage him. He should remain humble, so that he can gain experience and not be complacent. He should work hard every game,' said ex-Kaizer Chiefs star Mokete Tsotetsi. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
