Newly appointed Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt has spoken to the club’s official website for the first time since his appointment and said players need to win a trophy again.
The last time Kaizer Chiefs won the ABSA Premiership title back to 2014/15 season. So far, arch-rivals Mamelodi Sundowns won the league four times with three in a row since 2017/2018 season. Bidvest Wits won it in 2015/2016.
However, in-between this period, Amakhosi have just been runner-up just one time, in the just ended season. And it was really a disappointing finish as they were leading the standings since the beginning of the season. Something, Gavin Hunt intends to resolve.

“We’ve got a squad of players that just came second by 20 minutes [in the last game of the season]; we’ve got a squad of players that needs to win a trophy again,” Hunt told Chiefs’ website.
“There are a lot of players that have won a lot here, and are they still hungry to win more? The ones that haven’t won, we need to get them to want to win more trophies,” the 56-year-old tactician added.

“The bottom line is that we need a club going in the direction and competing in terms of the success of trophies, that’s for sure.
“This is a club that needs to compete in every tournament, be it the Telkom Knockout, Nedbank, MTN8 and Africa. We’re going to need help.” Hunt concluded.
