• Kaizer Chiefs have decided to extend one of their top player's contract ahead of the 2026-27 Premier Soccer League season

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly set to tie down one of their key players to a new contract as they prepare for the 2026-27 season.

The Glamour Boys started this ongoing season on a good note and were among the title contenders, but lost their way in the second half of the campaign and are out of the title race in the Betway Premiership, while also being knocked out of all cup competitions.

In their last two games, Amakhosi have shown some consistency, picking up a maximum of six points against Durban City and Magesi FC.

Kaizer Chiefs extend Miguel's contract

According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs have decided to tie down Inacio Miguel to a new contract, which would see him stay longer at the club.

The Angolan international joined the Glamour Boys in July 2024 from Petro de Luanda for an undisclosed fee and has been one of their key players since his move.

The 30-year-old has risen through Kaizer Chiefs' ranks since joining the club two years ago, and he's currently one of the captains. He is approaching his final months after putting pen to paper for two years when he signed.

Miguel joined the club alongside former coach Nasreddine Nabi and was part of the team that ended the Soweto giants' ten-year wait for a trophy as they defeated Orlando Pirates in the final of the Nedbank Cup in the 2024-25 season.

Why Kaizer Chiefs offered Miguel new contract

According to reports, Kaizer Chiefs decided to offer Miguel a new deal and retain him at the club because they hold him in high regard and his top-class leadership qualities.

It is said that there was no debate about the club's decision to offer the Angolan defender a new deal, as the technical crew also values his technical insight and has proved over time that he's an asset not expected to be let go at this point.

He made 28 appearances in his debut Betway Premiership campaign during the 2024/25 season and has already featured 25 times this term, though he is still searching for his first goal.

The Premier Soccer League giants are yet to make the announcement concerning Miguel's new contract, but the club are expected to make the deal official in due course.
