Former Kaizer Chiefs head coach Stuart Baxter's agent, Steve Kapeluschnik, has given KickOff the latest update on the progress of his client in finding a new club.
Baxter has not returned to active management since he parted ways with Swedish club Helsingborgs IF in December last year.
He initially joined Helsingborgs as director of football, before eventually being appointed head coach, as they were fighting relegation in the Superettan.

Despite the club surviving the dreaded axe, they parted ways with the 70-year-old, who is yet to find the right project to be active again.
However, with most leagues around the world in recess and changes taking place, Kapeluschnik indicated to KickOff, in an exclusive interview, that they could potentially be in talks with clubs and indicated that Baxter would certainly like to return to coach in Mzansi again.
"There could be [talks with clubs], we just need to find the right project. He [Baxter] loves the country, he loves South Africa. He has a daughter here. He absolutely loves South Africa," said Kapeluschnik.
"South Africa is close to his heart, he'll love to come back, but we just need to find the right project for him."
Sekhukhune United have enlisted big names in their coaching hunt, with the likes of Gavin Hunt and Steve Komphela reportedly interviewed, following the suspension of coach Lehlohonolo Seema.
When asked if Baxter would be interested in the Babina Noko project, the intermediary did not want to commit.

"I don't know. They [Sekhukhune] haven't phoned me. I don't know, I can't tell you because I don't know," he responded.
As previously reported by this website, Komphela has emerged as favourite to take over at Sekhukhune.
