'Solinas in the bracket of Casares' - Motaung breaks silence on Italian's stint with Kaizer Chiefs

The 75-year-old admits Amakhosi took a gamble by hiring the Italian mentor but he had some kind words for his predecessor Steve Komphela

Kaizer Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung has broken his silence on the two coaches who succeeded Stuart Baxter between 2015 and 2018.

Steve Komphela took over from Baxter at the start of the 2015/16 season before Giovanni Solinas was tasked with leading the team at the start of the 2018/19 campaign.

However, the two coaches failed to deliver silverware and left Chiefs, who then re-hired Ernst Middendorp in December 2018.

Motaung was hard on Solinas, saying he falls in the same bracket with Orlando Casares - an Argentine mentor who coached Amakhosi and failed dismally in 1983.
