The Tunisian mentor believes that one win doesn't mean the process of taking the Soweto Giants back to the top is done.

"The process is not for one victory; it's not because we win [against Richards Bay]," the Kaizer Chiefs head coach said after the win over Richards Bay.
"The object for the level of Kaizer Chiefs isvery high. Yes, mentally, it's good; some moments in the match are fantastic. However, without consistency and efficiency, we need more work to achieve the third goal.
"But the three points is perfect for the club. Mentally, it's not easy to play the second half with 10 men. It feels good. But for the process [it's not done]."

The former AS FAR Rabat head coach also claimed that his team is not yet worthy of comparison to the old side that had the likes of Doctor Khumalo and Siphiwe Tshabalala.

"It's not the old Kaizer Chiefs. Remember Amakhosi before with Tshabalala and Doctor Khumalo; this is a high level. Not like today," he added.

PSL side keen on signing Kaizer Chiefs target

Briefly News also reported that Kaizer Chiefs' chances of signing a South African striker just got tougher as another PSL side are interested in moving for the player.

Amakhosi were the first team to show interest in signing the striker, but could miss out on his signing just like they did for Elias Mokwana and Khanyisa Mayo.
