"Right now we are in the final and we are 90 minutes away from the biggest trophy that all clubs in Africa would want to have‚" he told SowetanLIVE.

"I am surrounded by the right people‚ by the right management and I am at the right club. I have had this journey before with Sundowns and I know how difficult it is," said Billiat.

Billiat has returned to training but is not yet participating in full-contact sessions, leaving his chances of playing in this week's titanic showdown with Al Ahly on a knife's edge.

He is the only member of the Chiefs squad who has previously appeared in a CAF Champions League final when Mamelodi Sundowns defeated Zamalek to win the continental title in 2016, according to KickOff.

In other sports news, Briefly News reported that Chippa United have decided to put speculation to bed as they have just announced the appointment of coach Gavin Hunt. The hiring comes after the Chilli Boys chairman Siviwe Mpengesi was quoted by local media saying he wants a big gun.

Mpengesi’s club took to Twitter to unveil the former Kaizer Chiefs manager last Wednesday afternoon. The former Bidvest Wits boss left Amakhosi in May after a string of poor results in the DStv Premiership.

Despite his men struggling to collect maximum points, Amakhosi did well in the CAF Champions League and are now set to face Al Ahly in the final this week.
