Kaizer Chiefs great, Zebulon "Sputla" Nhlapo, appeals to the South African football giants to bring Arthur Zwane back to the hot seat.

Zwane, who has been with Chiefs for 23 years both as a coach and a player, was in May 2022 appointed as first-team head coach, in a three-year deal, but only served one season.

The Amakhosi faithful felt the hot seat was too big for Zwane, who had never been a head coach even in the Motsepe Foundation Championship before his appointment.

"They must just bring back Arthur Zwane, at least for the last six remaining games," Nhlapo tells KickOff.

"At the moment, nothing can be done, they just need to play for the Top Eight. We are left with very few games.

"Arthur Zwane was rushed, he was coming alright, he was removed too soon. You cannot remove someone after the first season, just when he knows what to fix in the team for the following season.

"Mamelodi Sundowns wouldn't be where they are right now if Patrice Motsepe listened to the spectators who were baying for Pitso Mosimane's blood, at one stage he had to leave the stadium in a police vehicle.

"If you remember very well the supporters who threw stuff at Arthur Zwane were just a few people, and now the situation is worse than what it was before.

"There is no order, there is no discipline in the team at the moment, everyone does as he pleases, the players are shouting at the coaches....

"The Kaizer Chiefs dignity has been lost.

"We were in position eight and now we are in position 10, and the worst part is that we are left with six games.

"We have failed to win any cup, so let's just qualify for the Top Eight. They must just bring Arthur Zwane back so he can motivate the boys in these five games.

"At the moment, the players look confused, we should concentrate on the six remaining games.

"What's happening at Chiefs right now, it pains us as legends."
