And while he feels Chiefs have the resources to achieve success, Ntseki revealed that the project needs the club to get the best players available.

“It is important for us to compete with the best in Africa and the world because I think we have the resources to do that. We have the leadership for that,” Ntseki told the Amakhosi media department.

“The project needs to get the best players to make the senior team a winning team. The history is so rich, and you need to add more because the bar is very high,” he said.

Ntseki thanked Kaizer Motaung and everyone who contributed in making Chiefs the brand it is today.

He said he grew up watching and listening to Chiefs matches, their players and the ssuccess stories on TV and radio respectively, and that inspired him to dream of working for the club.

“I need to thank the club, the chairman and everyone who has made Kaizer Chiefs what it is today. Growing up I used to watch Kaizer Chiefs on TV and listened to radio about the players and the success story. It has inspired me to say one day I will be part of this big brand,” continued Ntseki.

“It calls for one to have gone through the research and understanding of who is Kaizer Chiefs? What is the culture? What is the philosophy? The playing style… That will be important because it means you need to look back and get information about the club. And take the club to the next level because modern trends in football are of prime importance,” concluded Ntseki.
