Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed Stuart Baxter as their new head coach‚ the club announced on Wednesday.
Baxter (67) replaces Gavin Hunt‚ who was fired as coach with two matches to go in the now-completed DStv Premiership with Chiefs in 11th place‚ having won twice in 16 league matches.
Hunt‚ though‚ had steered Amakhosi to their first Caf Champions League semifinal‚ having previously never reached the group stage‚ where they meet Wydad Casablanca over two legs this month.
Kaizer Chiefs confirmed Stuart Baxter as the club s new head coach on Wednesday.
This will be his second tenure at Naturena.
However, the 67-year-old is aware that things are very different to the first time he was at the club.
The worst-kept secret has officially been made public, and
Sport24 reported last month that the Soweto giants were waiting to pull the trigger to sack Gavin Hunt before ushering the Scot in for another spell at the club.
Just 13 days ago, Amakhosi called time on Hunt s three-year deal, which saw the rumours of Baxter s return start doing the rounds. Before that, the club s fans marched to Chiefs headquarters, Naturena, to hand over a Supporters Memorandum with several demands following a poor domestic season.
