Kaizer Chiefs

The start of the new PSL season saw major movement in an already busy South African Premiership transfer window, with Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch among the key kingmakers.

The MTN8 will kick off with defending champions Orlando Pirates in action against Durban City on Saturday, before African champions Mamelodi Sundowns play Polokwane City.

After years of monopoly and then duopoly in the South African Premiership, the days of three-horse races between the traditional 'Big Three' may finally be about to return.

Kaizer Chiefs will play their first South African Premiership match under new head coach Fernando da Cruz on Saturday, as they visit Kruger United at Mbombela Stadium.

Fernando da Cruz has the first confirmed addition to his Kaizer Chiefs squad, former Stellenbosch defender Thabo Moloisane.

Kaizer Chiefs have hired Fernando da Cruz as their new head coach, with two more additions to their technical team.

Sipho Mbule is a free agent after exiting Orlando Pirates after his Bafana Bafana World Cup squad snub.

Cross began his career as a centre-back, so he adds cover in that position, where he has occasionally featured even in recent times for Chiefs. His ease on the ball ensures that wherever he plays, he can be an asset.

Hugo Broos' squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA was revealed on Wednesday, with Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen missing out but Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners included.

Amid speculation that Manqoba Mngqithi could become Kaizer Chiefs' head coach, a source close to the matter has revealed that his contract at Golden Arrows is coming to an end at the close of the 2025-26 season.
