Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane has called for a local coach to take the reins at Amakhosi after the exit of Stuart Baxter last month.
Zwane and Dillon Sheppard are currently ushering the Glamour Boys as interim co-coaches until the end of the current season.
‘10111’ has been backed by many for the position, however, it’s unclear whether or not the management will believe in him.
“We need to empower our own people,” Zwane said during his post-match press conference as per KickOff.com. “We have to groom our coaches.
“At Pirates, you can see that coach Fagrie [Davids] and coach Mandla [Ncikazi] are there and with just a little bit of patience there, things will change for the better.
“That’s why if we have good coaches who can come and help Kaizer Chiefs, why not? Local coaches understand where these players come from.
“We are dealing with sensitive issues here in this country and a lot of people take that for granted. They don’t know where these boys come from.
“I can tell you, we have so many challenges as a nation, let alone just life in general. So, you have to know where these boys come from.
“From my experience with the development structures, you are dealing with players who have issues with their ancestors, and you can take that for granted.
“If you don’t have that background and experience you will take that for granted. You will always say, ‘No, this boy is a problem…’
“So that is why it is key that we need to understand the culture. I don’t have a problem if we get someone from Europe who can adapt and not change the way we want to do things.
“But those people don’t have the challenges of ancestors and those things that are happening in their lives like an African boy. There are so many things that are happening behind the scenes.
The Soweto-based club has lost three, won one, and drawn one of the five games they have played under the leadership of Zwane and Sheppard.
