Kaizer Chiefs coaches earn CAF A licenses

Kaizer Chiefs celebrate another proud milestone this week as three of their coaches Rory Minnaar, Jimmy Jambo, and Unathi Mabena have successfully obtained their CAF A Diplomas after completing the required courses.

“We are extremely proud of the trio. Coaches Jimmy, Rory, and Unathi have made us proud with this achievement, which allows them to coach at the highest level in international football. It’s a remarkable accomplishment for the Club and our players,” says Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.

Minnaar currently serves as the Kaizer Chiefs Youth Development Academy (KCYDA) goalkeeper coach and is one of only five goalkeeper coaches in the country who hold this qualification; Jambo oversees the U15 side, while Mabena leads the newly introduced KC Ladies team.

“Modern football requires coaches to continuously stay up to date with the latest developments, and we want to ensure that high-level coaching is available not only for the senior team but across all seven teams representing Kaizer Chiefs,” Motaung continues.

The coaches join other CAF A licensed coaches, Vela Khumalo and Mohammed Bhamjee, who are also part of the KCYDA.

“We trust in the ability of our coaches to impart their acquired knowledge and expertise to our boys in the KCYDA and with our young ladies as they compete in the Gauteng Development League, DStv Diski Challenge and the Sasol League.”

Kaizer Chiefs would like to congratulate coaches Jimmy Jambo, Rory Minnaar, and Unathi “Nutty” Mabena on their tremendous achievement.
