In a strategic move to strengthen their coaching ranks, Kaizer Chiefs have secured the services of experienced tactician Cedric Kaze as their new assistant coach.

Kaze’s arrival marks a significant addition to the Chiefs’ technical team, providing valuable support to head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
With a proven track record and a deep understanding of the game, Kaze is expected to play a pivotal role in guiding the team towards success.
Burundian coach Kaze, who has previously worked with Nabi with Tanzania’a Young Africans, will reportedly work alongside first assistant Khalil Ben Youssef.
He has an A License from both the Confederation of African Football and the German Football Federation as well as a Bachelor of Sport Science degree.
Former clubs for Kaze include Burundi’s Atletico Olympic, Rwanda’s Mukura Victory Sports, alongside working for the Burundi national team and the Barcelona youth structures.
His expertise in various aspects of the game, coupled with his ability to foster a positive team environment, will be instrumental in helping Chiefs achieve their objectives.
The appointment of Kaze comes at a crucial time for Chiefs, as they strive to rebuild their competitive edge and challenge for top honors in South African football.
With a strong coaching staff in place, the club is well-positioned to navigate the challenges ahead and deliver exceptional performances on the field.
