The Hunt is over? Twitter ablaze as Kaizer Chiefs near Gavin Hunt appointment

Kaizer Chiefs fans took to Twitter en masse to air their views on the imminent arrival of Gavin Hunt as head coach.

Reports in the South African media on Thursday suggest that the 56-year-old is on the brink of being unveiled by Amakhosi as the replacement for Ernst Middendorp.

The German coach oversaw a remarkable 2019-20 campaign in which Chiefs led the table for almost the entirety of the season before succumbing at the death as they were overhauled by Mamelodi Sundowns on the final day.

While the Brazilians thumped Black Leopards 3-0, Chiefs were held 1-1 by Baroka and ultimately opened the door to Sundowns nabbing the title.
