Kaizer Chiefs get disappointing pre-season news
Kaizer Chiefs head to the Netherlands for pre-season, but some details of the tour are far from ideal. Here's the schedule. Chiefs face five Dutch sides in July, spread over eight days. One of the matches, however, is played behind closed doors. 'Chiefs will still finish ninth with their new signings' 08 July, 19:00 vs. Vitesse Arnhem 11 July, 16:00 vs. FC Utrecht (behind closed doors) 12 July, 14:00 vs. NEC Nijmegen 15 July, 19:00 vs. PEC Zwolle 16 July, 19:00 vs. FC Twente The behind-closed-doors (no fans in the stadium) clash with Utrecht was initially going to be the first match of the tour. However, Chiefs face Vitesse first on 08 July. Meanwhile, much has been said about Asanele Velebayi's quality and ability to beat his marker on the inside or outside. However, the left-footer's finishing is still sketchy and needs a lot of work. Nigerian striker Etiosa Ighodaro wasn't good enough for Sundowns and got shipped out to AmaZulu, so why is the 24-year-old now magically at the standard required by the Glamour Boys? Not all of the club's recruitment at the sharp end has been terrible, though; Glody Lilepo has looked dynamic and has good scoring instincts, but he'll have to prove it in his second season. Chiefs target Serbian-based flop striker Asanele Velebayi of Cape Town Spurs.

"I am here to execute and make sure we have a good structure in communication from one department to another and have a clear structure of who is doing what with clear responsibilities."That is the priority in the beginning - to make sure we have a setup that has a punch for the future."I'm here to help with every decision in the football [side of the club] and ultimately they are my responsibility. Scouting and recruitment of course are very relevant and they are some of my very first priorities."Spors was keen to stress the importance of synergy across departments within the club but acknowledged key decisions on the football side of the club will fall to him."I am here to take responsibility and take decisions," he said. "The way I work and lead is in a very integrated model. "I have been fortunate to work in many different cultures and every culture has a different way to come to decision-making. My experience is that we need a clear responsibility under my umbrella. "I make sure that every internal stakeholder is very close to me, is heard, and can have an opinion. That includes the manager, the scouting, the recruitment, our CEO and the ownership."I include everyone who has a say in this football club and then ultimately it's my responsibility."Listen now on BBC Sounds
