"Kaizer Chiefs is the club I want" - Out of work veteran coach Owen Da Gama eager for top job

"Kaizer Chiefs is the club I want" - Out of work veteran coach Owen Da Gama eager for top job

The veteran head coach was most recently in charge of Botswana Premier League side Black Lions.

He has coached a number of clubs in the South African top-flight including Orlando Pirates, Platinum Stars, Highlands Park, TS Galaxy and Magesi.

In an interview with SABC Radio Phalaphala FM, Da Gama explained that he wants one more big job, whether it be with Amakhosi, or another team.

"I am saying Kaizer Chiefs. Chiefs is the club I want. If I can get Chiefs just for a season only," he said.

"It's on my bucket list if the opportunity arises. If only I can get Chiefs I can tell you. I don't want to overhype myself, but it's on my bucket list. But I wouldn't mind any other team.

"I learnt a lot from Dr Irvin Khoza, and I am still grateful that I was given the opportunity to work at Orlando Pirates. That opportunity put me on the map, let's be honest.

“The PSL is a big brand. What Dr Khoza did for football in this country is big. The PSL is one of the biggest leagues in Africa. So I think the standard of football in the country has grown tremendously.”
