Kaizer Chiefs fans are growing restless after yet another disappointing defeat in the Betway Premiership.

With their performances under scrutiny, many are questioning whether the team has the right strategies, players, and leadership to reclaim their former glory.

Amid the frustration, suggestions are pouring in about how the Amakhosi can revamp their approach and salvage their season.

Bringing Back a Legend: Could Doctor Khumalo Be the Answer?

Former Bafana Bafana defender Siboniso Gaxa believes it’s time for Chiefs to think outside the box.

He suggests the club should bring back an iconic figure like Doctor Khumalo to assist head coach Nasreddine Nabi.

Khumalo, a household name in South African football, was part of Chiefs’ last title-winning squad in 2015, serving as Stuart Baxter’s assistant.

Gaxa, who has enjoyed a stellar career with clubs like Chiefs, Sundowns, and Belgian side Lierse, says Khumalo’s experience and deep understanding of the club’s culture could provide the spark the team needs.

With 54 national team caps under his belt, Gaxa knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level.

Chiefs’ Dream XI and Potential Signings

Amid their struggles, Chiefs fans are speculating about what a revamped starting XI could look like with potential new signings.

Names like Stellies left-back Fawaaz Basadien and midfielder Thabo Cele have been linked with the club.

Basadien has been on Chiefs’ radar for some time, though prying him away from Stellenbosch FC might require a substantial offer.

Meanwhile, Cele, who previously expressed homesickness while playing in Russia, remains a hopeful target for the January transfer window.

Feisal Salum and Percy Tau Out of Reach?

Chiefs’ ambitions to land top talent like Tanzanian playmaker Feisal Salum seem increasingly unlikely.

The 26-year-old, who scored 19 goals last season, is reportedly set to sign a lucrative new contract with Azam FC, which could see him earning around R200k a month.

Another blow comes with news about Bafana star Percy Tau.

Although Tau’s contract with Al Ahly is set to expire at the end of the 2024-2025 season, his age and wage demands make a move to Chiefs improbable.

Can Chiefs Bounce Back Before It’s Too Late?

With their current form raising concerns about missing out on the top eight again, Kaizer Chiefs face mounting pressure to make impactful changes.

Whether through January transfer window reinforcements or strategic adjustments, the next few months will be crucial for the team’s future.
