Orlando Pirates f.c.

A fine season with Cape Town City must surely have made Eric Tinkler a front-runner for the Kaizer Chiefs job?

He’s shown he has the stature to handle the egos and challenges and with six years passed since Tinkler left Bucs, the 51-year-old has added a whole lot of experience. The problem for Chiefs is, neither Cape Town City's management nor their supporters will want Tinkler to leave. The Citizens are at the very least guaranteed third-place and will play in Africa next season.
