Chiefs have not won a major title since lifting the PSL in 2015, and Khune said the current crop of players at his beloved club needs a seasoned player to help guide them to success.
Itumeleng Khune said Kaizer Chiefs needs a mentor
Khune speaks about Chiefs in the tweet below:
According to Soccer Laduma, Khune said there is a lack of winning mentality at the Soweto giants, while defender Rushwin Dortley is committed to proving him wrong.
Khune said:
“The ones who came afterwards didn’t experience all that, and it was difficult for them to win. I think most of the time, the players were just on the field to be counted as Chiefs players, but you don’t want to spend 20 years or even two at a club without winning a single cup. You can’t tell me a club like Kaizer Chiefs cannot win a single cup every season.”

On social media, Amakhosi fans disagreed with Khune, saying Chiefs will win silverware soon, while some felt the club needed a few key players.

“When did this boy become an expert?”
Kingzama Hlatshwayo is confident:
“Glory will come in our own time.”
Sello Mbena is a fan of Khune:
“Khune is a legend.”
