Speculation that Ernst Middendorp may not continue to coach Kaizer Chiefs from the end of the 2019/2020 season, even if they win the league, is “just rumours”‚ says Amakhosi football manager Bobby Motaung.
As professional football gears up to return on August 8 from a four-month suspension due to the coronavirus‚ Chiefs lead the Premiership in their 50th anniversary season‚ attempting to reverse four previous seasons without a trophy. Media reports have also speculated that Chiefs might not be overly keen to continue with Middendorp as coach, even with a championship victory.
“We’ve not even had that discussion as a club‚” Motaung said. “So it’s rumour and talk out there‚ which we don’t know of. So at this moment, I don’t want to entertain the coach’s issues because there is nothing — we have never had a discussion. We have not sat down and discussed his future,” he said, adding, “The coach has a contract; he still has one more season to go.”
Chiefs ‚ who at one stage had a commanding 13-point gap at the top of the Premiership‚ have seen that whittled down to a four-point lead over second-placed defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns‚ who have a game in hand .The remainder of the 32 Premiership and National First Division sides will enter the Gauteng bio-safe bubble on August 11‚ with a resumption of the top and second-tier leagues purportedly set for August 15.
