Bafana Bafana legend Katlego "Killer" Mphela has explained why players struggle at Kaizer Chiefs while sharing his opinion on Gaston Sirino's signing.

Mphela opens up on players' struggle at Kaizer Chiefs

In an interview with Sowetan Live, Mphela shared his thoughts on players failing to live up to expectations when they move from Sundowns to Chiefs.

The former South African international was one of the players who suffered the same fate, as he failed to replicate his performance for the Brazilians when he decided to join the Soweto giants.

The former Sundowns striker believes that the constant changes of managers is one the reasons players struggle at Kaizer Chiefs.

"The problem of coaching always plays a part in players struggling at Kaizer Chiefs when they come from Mamelodi Sundowns because the Brazilians have a style of play that's well-established, and Amakhosi have been changing coaches now and again, and their identity isn't clear," he said.

Comparing Sundowns to Chiefs, the former Bafana Bafana striker claimed Sundowns are well organised and already a solid team, but Amakhosi are always building.
