Gavin Hunt reveals WHEN he was sacked by Kaizer Chiefs

“The sacking pretty much came after the 3-0 loss to Simba but we went through. If it was the other way around people would have been over the moon. When they pulled the plug I was obviously hugely disappointed because you don’t very often get into that situation especially to get through what we got through.” the former Kaizer Chiefs manager told OnTheWhistle podcast show.

Hunt’s Amakhosi mandate revealed

“It was said, let’s get out of the first round in the Champions League and let’s finish above sixth in the league. I felt let’s do better in the Champions League and the league we’ll go again next season. We couldn’t go on two fronts. We were traveling, coming back and playing. We couldn’t, there was no chance.” the recently sacked Kaizer Chiefs coach continued.

Kaizer Chiefs is the biggest club in the country

“Kaizer Chiefs is the biggest club in the country, no doubt about it. I came in two weeks before the start of the season, two weeks!” Hunt continued.

“We have a total ban on [signing] players. The team hadn’t won a trophy in six or seven years. The team needed a revival. Some new blood and fresh legs. So what we did was we signed all the players they have now. Dolly wasn’t on the list of the one’s that were coming but the rest were.”

Following his spell at Kaizer Chiefs, Gavin Hunt has since joined Chippa United. The Chilli Boys have opened their season with a victory over Sekhukhune United and a draw against defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
