EPISODE 1 – EPISODE 2 – EPISODE 3
Let me explain why I’m so excited to take over at Kaizer Chiefs—it’s not just about football; it’s personal. As a Leeds United fan, there’s a connection between my team and Kaizer Chiefs FC. If you didn’t know, here’s the backstory: The band Kaiser Chiefs took their name from the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs FC. The reason? Lucas Radebe, a fan-favourite Leeds United player, played for Kaizer Chiefs before making the move to Leeds. Since the band members are Leeds fans, they paid tribute to both their team and this unique link by naming their band after the South African club. Which I think is pretty cool.
Besides the personal connection, I’m buzzing because Kaizer Chiefs are a massive step up from Black Leopards. For the first time in this challenge, I feel like I can realistically compete for the African Champions League. The current state of affairs at the club isn’t ideal, though. We’re sitting in 6th, and that’s exactly where we finished last season too. For a team as big as Kaizer Chiefs, it’s disappointing to be so far off Sundowns and Orlando Pirates. This club should be challenging for the top spots.
Despite the club’s recent underperformance, we’ve made an incredible start. I’ve been using an attacking 4-4-2 formation, and we’ve won four out of our first five games. The only game we didn’t win was a crazy draw against Sundowns—a game we should have won. Still, I can’t complain. It’s already clear that the Kaizer Chiefs squad is leagues ahead of what I was working with at Black Leopards. There’s a lot of room for improvement, but the quality difference is incredible.
We’ve now reached the end of the second season, and it couldn’t have gone better. Our end-of-season form has been nothing short of spectacular—eight straight wins to finish the campaign, and we did it in style, scoring 25 goals along the way. We’ve been absolutely tearing through teams, and it’s already got me incredibly excited for next season.
The only dampener on my mood is how good Sundowns are. They’ve now won the league eight times in a row and look completely unstoppable.
Since the Pentagon Challenge is all about winning the African Champions League, it’s only fitting to take a look at our future competition. So far, the dominant force in the tournament has been Pyramids Football Club. They’ve won the African Champions League two years in a row now and have a squad that looks incredibly strong. Their star player is former Stoke City winger Ramadan Sobhi, and they have by far the biggest wage bill in the tournament.
This is not going to be easy. First, I have to conquer Sundowns in the domestic league, and then I’ll have to go head-to-head with Pyramids to win the African Champions League. God help me.
