With the 2024/25 Betway Premiership kicking off, Kaizer Chiefs supporters are buzzing with optimism.
One of the major reasons behind this excitement is their newest addition to the squad, Angolan central defender, Inacio Miguel.
His decision to join Amakhosi brings a lot of promise to the team.
Let’s dive into why he made this bold move.
Inacio Miguel Joins Kaizer Chiefs
Kaizer Chiefs have been busy during the transfer window, bringing in seven new players, and the latest to join the ranks is 28-year-old Inacio Miguel.
This Portuguese-born defender was instrumental for Petro de Luanda, a team that not only competed in the CAF Champions League but also claimed the Angolan domestic league title last season.
In addition to his club success, Miguel has donned the Angolan national team jersey five times.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr, expressed his excitement about the new signing.
He stated, “We’re thrilled to welcome a player of Inacio Miguel’s caliber.
His experience, skill, and passion align perfectly with the spirit of Chiefs, and we believe he will bring a lot of positive energy to the squad.”
Motaung Jr added that the club looks forward to working with Miguel as he embarks on this new chapter in his football career in South Africa.
Why Inacio Chose Amakhosi
Inacio Miguel recently spoke to the media and shed some light on his decision to join Kaizer Chiefs.
Interestingly, he revealed that he had received more lucrative offers from clubs in North Africa.
Despite the financial appeal, he chose Chiefs for reasons beyond money.
“If it was about money, I wouldn’t have come to South Africa,” Miguel said.
“I had better-paying offers from North African clubs, but the project Kaizer Chiefs presented was more compelling.”
Miguel emphasized that the Chiefs’ long-term vision and the structure of the club played a significant role in his decision.
“They’re a massive club with a very competitive environment.
From the first conversation I had with management, I got a clear sense of the club’s goals and ambitions, and that’s what convinced me to make the move,” he added.
What’s Next?
With Miguel now part of the squad, the question on every fan’s mind is how his presence will impact the team’s performance.
Will he be the game-changer Kaizer Chiefs need to secure more silverware this season?
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: expectations are high, and supporters are eager to see what the future holds.
