Zwane, who worked with the temperamental but talented coach said the management was spot on by bringing the Turkish-born back home in their quest to claw their way back to the top.

Following the failure by former coaches Ernst Middendorp and Kosta Papic to ensure that Chiefs launch a strong bid in challenging for league glory, Zwane said the current Coach of the Season who did a sterling job at Ajax Cape Town last season deserves the hottest seat in coaching.

“He showed last season that he is still the best in the business. He turned unknown players to world beaters and I have absolute trust in him. He is the best man for the job”.

“Our season was bad and with him coming on board, I am certain he will get the best out of us. We must start the new season on a bang to ensure that other teams notice how rampant we intend to become. The guys know what to expect from him and that we will keep us on our toes. One thing for sure, Chiefs will be a force to be reckon with come next season” said an elated Zwane.
