Black Leopards legend Tshilidzi "Shakes" Nange, who is a father to new SuperSport United signing Phathutshedzo Nange, is relieved that his son will be working with Gavin Hunt again.
Nange was recently let go by by the Soweto giants and has already found a new home with SuperSport, where he has signed a two-year deal.
The central-midfielder made only five appearances in all competitions for Chiefs last season.

"I'm not happy with his stay there because he was not getting game time," Tshilidzi tells KickOff.
"I think it will be better now that he is at SuperSport United.
"Maybe he will get game time because Gavin Hunt knows him, he worked with him at Wits so I think adjusting won't be a problem.
"At Chiefs it was difficult for him to adjust. I don't know what was the reason but now it's better he will be playing under Gavin Hunt.
"I don't know whether the problem was the coach or the way he is playing.
"Maybe the style of play the coaches were trying to use didn't suite him.
"I don't know why Chiefs released him, but after struggling for game time like he did, it's better for him to move along.
"If he continued staying there he was going to spend another season without playing.
"I remember the day he was joining Chiefs he was so happy. To be honest he was happy at Chiefs.
"But I'm not disappointed, I know how football works, I know that sometimes you can be good at one team and struggle for game time in your next one.
"Everywhere he go I will support him. I was only disappointed by his lack of game time.
"Most of the games when Chiefs played we went to watch as a family.
"Only to find that he was not playing, not on the bench…that was disappointing us.
"First year under Stuart Baxter he played regularly, he scored some goals, but when the other coaches came they used another philosophy.
"They didn't want the style that he was playing. That made him spend lot of time not playing."
