Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly monitoring former Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi as questions continue to emerge about the club's technical direction under current head coach Fernando da Cruz.
The reports have sparked fresh discussions among supporters, particularly as Amakhosi look to improve their performances and compete for major honours. Mngqithi is an experienced coach in South African football, and his possible return to Naturena would attract considerable attention if the reported discussions lead to a concrete agreement.
According to the reports, conversations are already taking place behind the scenes regarding a possible reunion between Chiefs and Mngqithi. However, the situation appears to be complicated by disagreements over the club's current technical team.
Mngqithi is reportedly reluctant to work with the existing technical setup led by Da Cruz. If the reports are accurate, this could become a major obstacle in negotiations, as Chiefs would need to consider whether they are prepared to make changes to accommodate the experienced coach.
Such a decision would not be straightforward. Da Cruz was appointed to lead the team, and any changes to the technical structure would require careful consideration from the club's management. Chiefs would need to determine whether bringing in Mngqithi would fit into their long-term plans and help them achieve their objectives.
Another interesting aspect of the reports concerns former Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune. Mngqithi is reportedly interested in having Khune join his technical team as a goalkeeper coach if an agreement is reached.
Khune remains a popular figure among Amakhosi supporters because of his long association with the club and his contributions during his playing career. His experience as a goalkeeper could be valuable in a coaching role, particularly when working with younger players and helping them develop their skills.
However, Khune's reported involvement would depend on whether Chiefs and Mngqithi could reach an agreement on the proposed technical structure. The club would also need to consider the suitability of such an appointment before making any official decision.
For now, the situation remains uncertain, and there has been no confirmed announcement that Mngqithi will return to Kaizer Chiefs. The reported discussions should therefore be treated with caution until the club or the coach provides an official update.
Nevertheless, the possibility of Mngqithi returning to Naturena is likely to generate debate among supporters. Some may welcome his experience, while others will want to see the club give its current technical team more time.
Ultimately, any potential appointment will depend on the outcome of the reported discussions and whether both parties can agree on the direction the club should take.
