Kaizer Chiefs’ key tactician on the radar of Tanzanian Clubs: Exit?

Kaizer Chiefs’ key tactician is on the radar of Tanzanian clubs, will he make the move?

Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze has caught their attention, thanks to his instrumental role in Amakhosi’s mini resurgence this season.

The Burundian tactician joined Chiefs in October as part of Nasreddine Nabi’s technical team and has since made a significant impact. His influence extends beyond tactics, as he also serves as a translator for the Tunisian head coach. With Kaze’s support, Chiefs have reached the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals, keeping their dream alive for a long-awaited major trophy.

Chiefs’ progress and Kaze’s rising stock

Despite a disappointing 4-1 league defeat to SuperSport United, Chiefs have shown clear signs of progress under Nabi, Kaze, and the coaching staff. Their collective efforts have transformed the team’s performance, making Kaze an attractive prospect for clubs seeking strong leadership.

A source confirmed that Kaze’s growing reputation has not gone unnoticed, especially in Tanzania, where he previously worked alongside Nabi at Young Africans. Several Tanzanian Premier League clubs are keeping a close eye on him, considering him a potential candidate for a head coaching role.

“Cedric Kaze is seen as a head coach by most clubs, and I can tell you that there is interest in him elsewhere. Some of the big clubs in Tanzania are monitoring him. This is someone who is keen on being a head coach again. And it won’t be a surprise to see him making the step up again at some point in his career. But for now, he is fully focused at Chiefs. He is committed to serving the club, and he is likely to finish the season with the team,” said the source.

Will Kaze stay or go?

For now, Chiefs fans can breathe easy. Kaze remains committed to the club’s ongoing project and is expected to see out the season at Naturena. His past success in Tanzania, including winning the Mapinduzi Cup and leading Yanga to an impressive 17-match unbeaten run in 2020. Further cements his credibility as a top coaching prospect.

While Tanzanian clubs continue to monitor Kaze. The big question remains, will Chiefs entertain any offers for their highly regarded assistant coach? The coming months will reveal whether Kaze stays to build on Chiefs’ momentum or takes on a new challenge in Tanzania.
