Will Kaizer Chiefs eventually sign Oswin Appollis from Polokwane City?
OSWIN APPOLLIS IN DEMAND
According to the latest reports, Amakhosi are not the only admirers of the 23-year-old winger. Europe and the continent are also interested in Appollis.
“Chiefs are professional in the way they deal with transfers and they will go through the right channels again when the window opens again but other clubs have shown interest in Ossie as well,” a source told the Citizen.
“I can’t tell you which club in Europe wants him because it’s still too early to say but it’s not only in Africa where he’s in demand. At the end of the day, Polokwane City will have the final say because he has a contract with them,” the source added on the Kaizer Chiefs target.
KAIZER CHIEFS ANNOUNCE CEDRIC KAZE
In the meantime, the Glamour Boys have announced a new assistant coach to replace Fernando Da Cruz, who departed.
“Kaizer Chiefs have appointed Cedric Kaze as the new assistant coach. This strategic addition to coach Nasreddine Nabi’s technical team aims to bolster the Club’s performance and aspirations for the season,” the club said.
“Burundi-born Kaze brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the set-up, having previously worked alongside Nabi at Young Africans, where they achieved significant success together, winning six trophies in two seasons. His tactical expertise and experience in various coaching roles makes him a perfect fit to complement Nabi’s vision for the team.
“The 45-year-old has an impressive CV, which includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Sport Science, CAF A licence, as well as a German Football Federation A licence. He was named coach of the year for East and Central Africa in 2012.
“Kaze worked with the national teams in Burundi, where he started as an assistant coach for the U17 team in 2007, and became an assistant coach to the senior team, then coach for the U20s and U23s until he left for Canada in 2015.
“In Canada, he worked for a youth football training institution before he moved to the FC Barcelona Academy where he worked for two and half years.
“He has worked as a head coach in Burundian, Rwandan and Tanzanian domestic football, where he was also a Technical Director,” Kaizer Chiefs concluded.
