Former Kaizer Chiefs star flags accountability issues with co-coaches

The Glamour Boys have been without a full-time head coach since October, following the departure of Tunisian tactician Nasreddine Nabi. The club's decision to place Youssef and Kaze in a shared role has drawn mixed reactions from former players and pundits, with Gqosha becoming the latest to express his opinion.

Despite guiding Kaizer Chiefs to fourth place in the Betway Premiership, the team suffered early exits in both the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup within a span of two weeks, leaving AmaKhosi with only league fixtures to focus on for the remainder of the season.

Gqosha believes the club made a mistake by appointing co-coaches, suggesting that naming one as head coach and the other as assistant would ensure accountability.

"Judging by their performance before, it seemed a good decision based on the results," Gqosha, who represented Chiefs in the late 1990s, told Sowetan yesterday.

"I think now the mistake is that there's no one accountable between the two. It becomes a problem because one will blame the other, and both come with different philosophies. Whose philosophy is working during the match?"

He added: "I don't see them taking the league, but we will finish within the top-eight bracket, which will be a big improvement from the previous season. They cannot now chop and change, looking for a coach. By now, they should have started the process of finding an experienced coach for next season."

Gqosha's remarks underline growing concerns about leadership and clarity at the club as Kaizer Chiefs seek to stabilise and build for the future.
