Fan View: Chippa United and Hunt deserve each other

Gavin Hunt's appointment as head coach of Premier Soccer League side Chippa United has elicited mixed reactions from the online community.

The 56-year-old tactician landed the Chippa United job after he was sacked by Kaizer Chiefs after a poor season in the PSL. Although the Glamour Boys finished eighth in the local league, Hunt surprisingly managed to lead them to the semi-finals of the Caf Champions League.

The tactician has been appointed in the place of Lehlohonolo Seema, who left after he helped the club remain in the top-flight through the play-offs.

Hunt is the longest-serving manager within the South African league and has won numerous individual and team awards, but some fans believe he will not stay long at his new workstation.
