Kaizer Chiefs’ new star player is not ‘middle class’

Gaston Sirino scored his first goal for Kaizer Chiefs against AmaZulu on Wednesday in a 3-1 win, and Nasreddine Nabi sounded proud.

KAIZER CHIEFS SIGN GASTON SIRINO

After ending his six-year career at Sundowns, the 33-year-old Uruguayan was signed by Amakhosi in July, thanks to 41 goals and 44 assists for Kabo Yellow.

With a great assist in his first match against Marumo Gallants and a classy goal against AmaZulu last night, coach Nabi believes Sirino is the example of the players he wants at Kaizer Chiefs.

“He is a great role model for them and he has a positive impact on the youngsters,” said the tactician.

“It’s exactly the same kind of player I would like to have. If you remember, I said I didn’t want mid-range players. I want top-quality players like Sirino,” the Kaizer Chiefs mentor concluded.

ITUMELENG KHUNE JOINS SABC SPORTS

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has found a new job, but his future at Amakhosi remains uncertain.

SABC Sport has confirmed that the Amakhosi legend has joined the public broadcaster as an analyst.

“We will also enhance our coverage by strengthening the analytics team. This move will ensure that we provide our viewers with insightful commentary and in-depth analysis,” SABC Group CEO Nomsa Chabeli said, as quoted by the Hollywood Betting.

“The new members of the team are Itumeleng Khune, Jabu Mahlangu and Coach Thabo Senong, who will join our regular analysts Doctor Khumalo, Simphiwe Dludlu and Hlompho Kekana in the studio.”

IS THIS THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR KHUNE??
