Chiefs have hit rock bottom with some feeling the team doesn’t have a strategy to revive itself to its rightful state as kings of SA football, but they can be great again, by DanieMothowagae

A close look at all the successful clubs around the world shows that such entities are as strong as their technical departments. Modern-day football requires a big technical team, and Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane recently cited this as one of the reasons behind his team’s success.

Ironically, Khuzwayo, who is now with Pirates, was in goal when Amakhosi last lifted a knockout trophy – the MTN8 in 2014. The club acquired Daniel Akpeyi from Chippa United during the January transfer window when strong indications were that Middendorp was willing to throw Bvuma into the deep end in following the long-established tradition of Amakhosi’s trust in home-grown keepers.Improve player acquisition
