Former Kaizer Chiefs head coach Muhsin Ertugral has backed the team to continue with Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze.
The duo took over as co-coaches in September last year after head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
With a third-place finish almost secured in the Betway Premiership, the Turkish mentor has urged his former club to give the two coaches another season.
“Continuity is not about just protecting the coaches. It is about protecting the direction,” Ertugral told FARPost.
“If there is a clear idea, if there is visible progress, even at present, somehow the results are inconsistent, for me, the worst decision is to start again.
“Keeping the coaches for me is important. For me, they need to keep the coaches.”
Kaizer Chiefs are expected to appoint a new permanent head coach next season, but Ertugral feels the club might go backwards
He believes the current setup is perfect going forward and any changes could reset the team in a rebuilding phase.
“The question is to ask honestly, was there ever real continuity in recent years?
“Many changes have damaged the success rate at the club, in my opinion, because each change had its own direction,” Ertugral added.
Ertugral explains why Chiefs coaches should stay
“So every new coach started again from zero. I think all the resets have broken whatever structure was beginning to form.
“Those changes delayed one thing that Chiefs really need: identity.
“At some point, Chiefs must decide what they want to be. Not only the next result, said Ertugral.
“That’s what I am saying, not the next result. It’s more important to have continuity. They have had too many resets.”
