Kaizer Chiefs are one of the several teams that have confirmed their club captains for the new season, and a former Amakhosi goalkeeper has explained why Itumeleng Khune being handed the captain’s armband could be a masterstroke.
Khune and Zwane represented Chiefs at the DStv Premiership launch in Randburg most recently with the Amakhosi new head coach confirming that the former Bafana Bafana international is the club’s captain.
Zwane said if Khune is in the starting XI he “will definitely be the captain”. But if he is not part of the matchday squad, the Amakhosi coach stated that they will have to select a new captain.
William 'Cool Cat' Shongwe says Khune’s appointment as Chiefs captain is a sign that they want to “put him back into the team”.
“Khune is still a big player regardless, he might not be able to play regularly but maybe Chiefs have decided to give it a go with him to see what he can do,” Shongwe told the Siya crew.
“But besides his playing ability, he has leadership qualities, so if you want things to happen on the field of play and as a coach, you want to put yourself in a good position. You want somebody close to the players, and Khune is the best bet.”
