South African Premier Soccer League giants Kaizer Chiefs have safely landed in Morocco to face Wydad Casablanca. Chiefs are finalising their preparations to face the North Africans in the CAF Champions League on Saturday night.
The Glamour Boys are flying the national flag as they look to reach the finals and will face their counterparts over a two-legged affair. After announcing new coach Stuart Baxter more than a week ago, the club has confirmed the veteran manager will not be on the bench because of a work permit.
However, the team will be managed by his assistant coaches in the form of Dillon Sheppard and Arthur Zwane.
