With it being reported that Benni McCarthy's uncertain future at Manchester United may have an impact on Kaizer Chief's head-coach decision, fans have expressed their feelings on the matter.
What's the story?
It has been reported that the Soweto giants have agreed a deal that would see Nasreddine Nabi take over the club for the 2024/25 season. However, with McCarthy's future at the English giants said to be unclear given that his contract expires at the end of this month, the Amakhosi hierarchy have something else to think about
Here's what the readers had to say:
"Why don't Manchester United extend his contract. He's been doing great there," says Ntate Otshepeng Martins.
"If KC take Benni then I will know they are not serious. I don't care who says what," says Sibusiso NdujaMo Mlangeni.
"I would like to see Benni Roger De SA on that Chiefs Bench," says Lerothodi Nyatso.
"Chiefs should have hired Benni after his Cape Town City stint because he is that good. I don't know why they didn't because the guy is clearly better than everyone they've hired since Stuart. Benni is a player's coach and he will always have a good rapport with players because he has that. We will sign good players because players would want to play for him and gain that experience that he has. ETH's tenure looks over at Man United and that means Benni will be clueless and that added with his love for Kaizer Chiefs is a no brainer to reign him in. Give him a three year project and you will see Chiefs going back gradually to their best. Trust me," says Vera Gregory.
"So till today Kaizer Chiefs management don't know who's going to be the coach of the club next season," says Siyabulela Nabe.
"He will take them straight to relegation," says Xikombiso Ntwanano Mkansi.
"It has been a while hunting, I wonder if they will ever catch anything on their hunting," says Mondise Sithole.
"It's been nice having a South African coaching a club like Manchester United. Bennie please continue coaching there. You're putting us on the map," says Ntate Otshepeng Martins.
"Haai we don't want him at chiefs yet," says Mthobisi Sibande.
"Save Benny for Pirates. We need him for the future," says Thabiso Jeffrey.
