Kaizer Chiefs

Several reports have emerged that Kaizer Chiefs have pulled the plug on Stuart Baxter's regime at Naturena.

With fans booing after the game, Baxter offered to step down. It is not clear if the club accepted the offer or if they decided to pull the plug after realising that Amakhosi will yet again finish the season without a trophy. Baxter’s firing comes days after the club lost at home to SuperSport United, a result that dented their chances of finishing in the top two of the DStv Premiership.

Not dissimilar to Manchester United, Kaizer Chiefs seem in need of a major clear-out and a squad rejuvenation.

Great vision for the pass and able to finish as well, the 22-year-old surely has a long-term future at Amakhosi if he continues his progress. At 24-years-old, the former Bidvest Wits man has a lot still to offer. Yet there’s something about him, not least his tenacity, confidence, calmness and effort, which would make the 27-year-old a fixture in the heart of the Chiefs defence for years to come.

Stuart Baxter's tenure as Kaizer Chiefs' head coach has indeed ended, sources within the club have confirmed.

Chiefs’ “games in hand” – against Golden Arrows and Cape Town City – are actually the fixtures in the dispute that Amakhosi failed to fulfil in December due to a huge breakout of positive Covid-19 tests in their camp. Chiefs were eliminated from the Nedbank Cup 1-0 by TS Galaxy at home in the second round of the competition. Some of the embarrassing moments were the back-to-back league defeats to Royal AM, who thumped Chiefs 4-1 at FNB Stadium in September before Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize’s side completed a double victory in Durban in December. Ironically, Baxter guided Chiefs to glory during his first stint as coach of the club from 2012 to 2015. But the axing of Baxter seems to have been in the works for a while, if the timeline of events leading up to his dismissal is anything go by. In February, Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung told City Press in an exclusive interview that the team had actually failed the short-term test of the club’s revival project.

In his first stint with Amakhosi between 2012 and 2015, the Brit won two league titles as well as the Nedbank Cup and MTN8 trophy.

To be fair to Baxter, he arrived at a tough time in Chiefs' history - a period starting to near a decade without a trophy. How many of those players were signed by Baxter himself, we may never know. Chiefs delved heavily into the transfer market.

By that time, though, there were already calls for Zwane to replace Baxter from the public. Itumeleng Khune remains one of the most beloved players in local football. A “special role” he named it.

Zwane and Sheppard will help them make the decision. Krol has been linked with Kaizer Chiefs before and has been out of work since 2019 after leaving Tunisian giants CS Sfaxien.

The Siya crew provides a timelines of what led to Stuart Baxter, ultimately, leaving Kaizer Chiefs.

A few of the fans, who were attending a Chiefs match for the first time since the pandemic, pelted the coach with objects and shouted “Baxter must go!”, to which the Englishman responded by saying that he was the most successful mentor at Naturena over the previous two decades. His teammate Nkosingiphile was arguably Chiefs’ best player during a gloomy season under then coach Gavin Hunt. But Baxter, seemingly, did not see it that way and wanted the two players to offer him a bit more, even deploying them in different roles from time to time – and it’s believed this had not gone down well with management. Njabulo, who was signed from Swallows FC, was voted Defender of the Season in the DStv Premiership and was not only rewarded with a move to Amakhosi, but found his way into the Bafana Bafana set up.

Hunt was sacked by Chiefs in 2021 and is out of work since being fired by Chippa United earlier in the season.

Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly set to part ways with goalkeeping coach Lee Baxter.

The 45-year-old Lee Baxter was born in Sweden and previously worked as a goalkeeper coach at AIK Solna, Genclerbirligi in Turkey, SuperSport United, and AGF Aarhus in Denmark.

Because Amakhosi must know that they need to please their supporters, in what are trying times for the team. There has long been speculation that having once played for Pirates, McCarthy would coach the club one day. But now, with Baxter gone and Chiefs on the hunt for a new coach (unless they decide instead to promote Arthur Zwane on a full-time basis), McCarthy looks as good a bet as any to be given the Chiefs job.
