“I hear the talks went well and Alexandre is keen to come to South Africa to coach Kaizer Chiefs. Now it’s a matter of agreeing to terms because the new coach wants to bring his own technical team,” said the source.

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly in discussions with Portuguese coach Alexandre Santos about the possibility of him becoming the club’s new coach at Naturena. According to a source, Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Junior traveled abroad last week to meet with Santos.

“Part of the reason why Alexander decided not to renew his contract with Petro is because he wants a new challenge. And like I said, the Chiefs job is appealing because Chiefs are a big club and they have not been winning any trophies and he wants to change that,” added the source.

Various coaches including Pitso Mosimane, Benni McCarthy and Florent Ibenge have been linked with the job, but it looks like Santos will be the man tasked with bringing back the glory days to Naturena.
