Itumeleng Khune has a “very valuable role” to play at Kaizer Chiefs next season.
The veteran goalkeeper is currently a free agent after his contract with Amakhosi came to an end.
He looks set to remain with Amakhosi, but not as a player, after finding himself fall down the pecking order at the Betway Premiership club.
Khune is most likely going to be handed a goalkeeper coach’ role with Chiefs, but as yet no final decision has been made as to where the former Bafana Bafana captain will be deployed.
Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr said on Goal: “I think as time goes on; we will be able to divulge more information. From the start of the season with Itu (Khune), we sat down and spoke, I think we released a statement as far as his playing contract, we had assessed everything.
“We have sat down with Itu, and we see him playing a very, very valuable role within this institution. I mean, he has contributed tremendously to this institution.
“He is a living legend. I think he has a lot to offer, whether it’s academy players, senior players, in various roles, so I think as time goes on, we will be able to divulge what the next step is with Itu.”
