The latest coaching appointment that Kaizer Chiefs will come at the back of a list of choices that have left the club stranded in the off-season for most of the past decade.
Chiefs must make the call on matters relating to who will take over from caretaker boss Cavin Johnson when they resume preparations for the 2023/24 season later this month.

Whoever comes in will find a dressing room thin on confidence following the atrocious turn of events under Johnson last term.
Amakhosi ended the season with 'worst' as the common denominator in defining their season.
While the players will take fault for some of what has happened in sinking the club into a punching bag that was pummelled by anyone who showed interest, including the bottom two clubs Cape Town Spurs and Richards Bay FC, management has questions to answer as well.
How has a club of Chiefs' status found themselves in the same situation of searching for a new coach for the fifth consecutive off-season?
What has led to no coach lasting two years since Steve Komphela six years ago?
What was the rationale used in appointing Giovanni Solinas, Arthur Zwane, Molefi Ntseki and Johnson?
Was turning back to Stuart Baxter again a decision made from desperation?
These are all questions that have piled up to leave Chiefs back to square one.
Gavin Hunt, Baxter, Zwane and Ntseki have been at the helm from the start in the last four seasons and the new coach coming in will join that list for a fifth consecutive year.
Inclusive of caretaker coaches, the list of coaches that have been at Chiefs since they last won a trophy in 2015 has Komphela, Patrick Mabedi, Solinas, Ernst Middendorp, Hunt, Zwane, Baxter, Ntseki and Johnson.
This leaves the next man to take over at the club as the 10th coach that has led the dressing room.

In contrary, Stellenbosch FC are reaping the benefits of having had Steve Barker in charge since the time when Komphela was at the Glamour Boys.
Whatever decision Chiefs make, they will have to make sure that it is a coach that they don't have to be having doubts about a year later.
