Africa-Press – South-Africa. Kaizer Chiefs caretaker coach Cavin Johnson has implied it would be unfair to bring up his name in the conversation about the club’s prolonged trophy drought and struggles.
Chiefs, who last won a trophy when they were crowned league champions in the 2014-15 season under Stuart Baxter, hit a new low when they were dumped out of the Nedbank Cup by second-tier side Milford in the first round at FNB Stadium on Sunday.The 5-4 penalty shoot-out defeat means the trophy drought for Amakhosi, who are battling in sixth place in the DStv Premiership, will be extended to nine seasons.
Johnson, who replaced Molefi Ntseki on a caretaker basis in October, suggested it would be unjust to identify him as contributing to the failure to win trophies at Naturena. Johnson initially joined Chiefs as head of academy in September last year.“As a coach now, do I have to take nine years on my shoulders? That’s a lot of years,” the caretaker coach said.
“We have to do proper inspection on what we have to do to make it a better season; to finish the season on a high, so that we can show the people and the public that we are building.”
While he is an interim coach, Johnson is the eighth boss to be hired to the hot seat at Chiefs since they won their last trophy. Johnson’s temporary tenure at Naturena was preceded by the tenures of Steve Komphela, Giovanni Solinas, Ernst Middendorp, Gavin Hunt, Baxter (for a second stint), Arthur Zwane and Ntseki.
