Mosimane would like to coach Nigeria

According to The South African, Mosimang is less likely to be the Amakhosi coach. Mosimane is more interested in coaching a national team like Nigeria. Jingles recently revealed in an interview that he would consider coaching Nigeria. The club is in the market for an African coach.

Mosimane would not be Amakhosi's first option anyway. Cavin Johnson's performance as Kaizer Chiefs' interim coach has been solid since he was appointed the coach after the club fired Molefi Ntseki. The club recently won 1-0 against Polokwane City, climbing to fifth place on the DSTV Premiership table.

Chiefs fans don't want Jingles

Netizens on Facebook, particularly Kaizer Chiefs fans, are happy that Jingles is not interested in coaching Chiefs as they're pleased with Johnson's performance.

In a Mosimane-related article, Briefly News reported that former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brian Baloyi encouraged Kaizer Chiefs to break the bank to secure Pitso Mosimane's signature.

This was after Mosimane's contract with Al Wahda ended and speculation was rife that Mosimane might return to Africa. South Africans discouraged him from coaching Amakhosi because they believed he would clash with management, especially Bobby Motaung.
