Former Young Africans assistant coach-cum-technical director Cedric Kaze has growing options in the PSL despite the prospect of Kaizer Chiefs.
Kaze holds a CAF A coaching licence and a German Football Federation A coaching licence and his experience includes working with Barcelona's Under-19 and reserve team (Under-21).

The Burundian has been with Yanga for the past three years having arrived after the departure of Serbian Zlatko Krmpotic.
Through his time at Yanga, Kaze then worked with Nasreddine Nabi who has been keen to have him part of his technical staff at Chiefs.
Nabi has been engaging Chiefs about the head coach job but prefers to have his own technical team instead of adopting those already at Naturena.
While Nabi continues with matters related to Chiefs, Kaze could end elsewhere with another PSL club, having raised a hand of interest.
Information reaching this website is that while the first club (known to this website and with renewed ambitions) has already tabled an offer, there is yet another unnamed local club eyeing up Kaze, as well as interest from North Africa.
The coach has indicated his desire to work in South Africa.
Such has been the praise that Kaze has been receiving for the work that he put in at Yanga working with Nabi which explains the interest.
Yanga were losing finalists in the 2022/23 CAF Confederation Cup this year but have lifted six trophies on the domestic scene in the last two years.
In May, Kaze told this website that he is leaving Yanga upon the expiry of his contract at the end of June.
"Now that the job has been done here, I need to get onto the other side of the fence.
"I have been at Yanga for three years and we have been league champions for two of those years.
"We have also won the Charity Shield twice and last year we won the FA Cup and this year we are in the semi-finals.
"The first year we also won the Mapinduzi Cup and I have been coach of the month.
"The first thing is that I have been interested in the South African league and have followed it a lot so that is an option that I will be keen on.
"I have no qualms in taking a job in this league and believe I have every tool to succeed plus I can fluently speak five languages and I'm aware of the new technologies in the game.
"I have been at Barcelona for three years and I know football and how to communicate.
"I know the demands of the professionalism of the game at the highest level," Kaze told KickOff.com at the time.
