And this is because head of technical and youth development academy Molefi Ntseki has been seen alongside Baxter’s technical team at training since he joined Chiefs in May.

In his own words, Baxter said both Arthur Zwane and Dillon Sheppard will be on the bench while Ntseki will be out in the stands throughout the campaign.

Baxter said the reason Ntseki will work closely with him but not be on the bench is that he wants a good pair of eyes to watch and analyze matches from afar.

According to Baxter, Ntseki will join the team in the dressing rooms at half-time to share the information he gathered during the Chiefs matches.

“In terms of the bench, I think that we’ve worked on the assumption that Arthur and Dillon will be on the bench, and Molefi stays in touch with us from the stands,” Baxter confirmed to reporters.

“Because I believe it’s good to have a good pair of eyes looking at that different angle who comes down at half-time and gives us his take on things, and then we work out the tactical changes if they need to be done at the break,” he added.
