Steenbok: Safa confirm interest in Kaizer Chiefs chief scout

The Soweto giants look set to lose a member of their scouting department to the country's football governing body

Safa has confirmed that Kaizer Chiefs’ chief scout Walter Steenbok is one of the three people who have been short-listed for the technical director position.

Steenbok was linked with the job two months ago as Safa look to find a replacement for Neil Tovey, who served as the organization's permanent technical director for five years before he left in June 2020 after his contract expired.

Frans Mogashoa, who is Safa's head of coach education, has been serving as an acting technical director since Kaizer Chiefs legend Tovey's departure, but the country's football governing body seems to be close to finding a new permanent technical director.
