The two coaches were believed to be in the race for the Amakhosi job but the club boss said he always had his eye on the former Bidvest Wits manager
Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung is a happy man now that Gavin Hunt is finally coaching his team.
Speaking after Hunt's appointment, Motaung said he still doesn't understand why the 56-year-old took so long to join the Naturena-based side.
Hunt's "impressive pedigree" is what Motaung said attracted the club to him, as well as his availability after the sale of Bidvest Wits, which made him the obvious choice.
