The boiling matter of what will happen with the technical team at Kaizer Chiefs appears to have taken yet another turn, following the latest events.
Chiefs are believed to making technical team changes, and have engaged prospective candidates after a timid first season under Arthur Zwane.

Numbers show that Chiefs were frail under Zwane after suffering the most (12) defeats in their PSL history with nine of their 15 league opponents all taking at least three points from AmaKhosi with only four clubs failing to take at least any point from the Naturena based club.
Zwane didn't provide the answers to the issues as Chiefs tamely finished fifth in the league and were without any resilience in their knockout competitions' pursuit.
This then prompted the authorities at Chiefs to have a series of engagements around the matter of Zwane being left to remain in charge for the second year.
As is always the case, the media got wind of the matter as the club was flooded with a plethora of options that were discussed in private while Zwane stood in a dark corridor.
The voices of reasoning with the powers at Chiefs have wanted Zwane to remain a part of the technical team regardless of what happens.
Chiefs' engagements with Muhammad Nasreddine Nabi have become public fodder.
Nabi – who won the double treble with Young Africans over the last two years in Tanzania while reaching the final of the CAF Confederation, has been upfront about his conditions of employment around the staff that he wants to work with which shouldn't include Zwane.
The Tunisian-Belgian's financial terms were never an issue, as he was going to get a better package than what he was on at Yanga.
However, the 57-year-old preferred his support staff to include conditioning coach Helmy Gueldich, analyst Khalil Ben Youssef and the technical expertise of Cedric Kaze plus another staffer.
For all the talks that have happened it appears this has all reached a dead end with Chiefs having finally decided not to pursue Nabi anymore based on how messy the talks have become.
There was a meeting held at Naturena this week that put this matter to rest.
This website has now gathered that Nabi – who is a motormouth coach, is now also talking to Wydad Casablanca who are due to part ways with Sven Vandenbroeck after he lost the CAF Champions League final and finished second in the domestic league.
Nabi speaks both French and Arabic and so is suited to the Moroccan environment.
This website can confirm that Nabi is keen on the Wydad gig and has done his preliminary work on the forthcoming competitions that the club will play in July in the domestic cup and the Arab Club Champions Cup.
Kaze is now expected to join another PSL club who are restructuring, with negotiations having reached peak level while there has been reports that Gueldich has attracted the interest of Orlando Pirates.
