Kaizer Chiefs need eighth

Chiefs drew 1-1 with AmaZulu on Sunday, 12 May 2024, as confirmed by the tweet below:

A Briefly News source said the side knows they cannot afford any slip-ups and it could cost them a heavy price to replace interim coach Cavin Johnson.

The source said:

"Playing for eighth is not where the club wants to be, but it is important because it will get us into the MTN 8, where they can hopefully do well to set the tone for the rest of the season. The team will treat the last two games like cup finals, and they [players] know other teams are pushing."

Fans are divided

Amakhosi fans took to social media, calling for their club to improve on the field, while others have backed the side to qualify for the MTN 8.

"Let's face it. The team's performance under current management isn't cutting it; it's time to level up. Hiring pros might just be the game-changer Kaizer Chiefs need."
