Newly-appointed Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Dillon Sheppard has revealed he wanted to join the Soweto giants upon his return from Europe in 2006.
According to Sheppard, the Soweto giants didn't have a place for him at the time and that's when Mamelodi Sundowns offered him a contract to be part of Gordon Igesund's league-winning team.
Nonetheless, he's pleased that he has finally gotten the opportunity to work for Amakhosi albeit on a different role than he initially hoped for.
