Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr h jin88bet.one as rejected reports that the club is negotiating with Manqoba Mngqith ak168app.baby i over its coaching position.
The reports emerged after Mngqithi, 55, parted ways with Tanzanian giants Young Africans last week, leaving him ak168app.club without a club. Several accounts subsequently suggested that the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Golden Arrows coach could return to South Africa with Amakhosi.
ks168app.site On X, user @InnocentKhabz claimed talks between Mngqithi and Kaizer Chiefs were ongoing. Motaung Jr replied directly, dismissing the report as “completely lies.”
The claim comes shortly after ic88 Kaizer Chiefs were knocked out of the CAF Confederation Cup. That disappointing continental campaign had led to renewed speculation about the ic88 future of head coach Fernando Da Cruz.
Motaung Jr has nevertheless publicly reaffirmed the club’s backing for ic88 Da Cruz, making a move for Mngqithi appear unlikely despite the latter’s availability.
Mngqithi has previously said Kaizer Chiefs were interested in appointing him while he was at Chloorkop. He claimed discussions had taken place with senior figures at the club, including K lr88 aizer Motaung Sn, but that the proposed move was blocked.
“Kaizer Chiefs did have interest in me. But lr88 someone blocked the move and I know who it is,” Mngqithi said.
“I have had very cordial talks with Chiefs, even with Kaizer Motaung Sn. It is not a lie. Bu lr88 t it never reached any fruition because there ar lr88 e people who block these moves.”
The experienced coach said he was not concerned about the person he believed had prevented the appointment.
“I’m fortunate to know that the person who blocked it I am not even worried about. But it’s true op88 there was interest recently,” he added.
Mngqithi is now si88 available after his departure from Young Africans, but Motaung Jr’s response has cast doubt on suggestions that current discussions are taking place between the coach and Kaizer Chiefs.
For now, the cl 88v ub’s stated support for Da Cruz remains the clearest indication of its position following the CAF Co SEXXXXX-VN nfederation Cup exit.
