Molefi Ntseki of Kaizer Chiefs.
New Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki will have an interesting start to life in the hot seat at Naturena, with his first five matches including an away trip to defending DSTV Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
Ntseki has taken over from Arthur Zwane after Amakhosi had another disappointing campaign last term and he will be targeting a good start to ensure the Soweto giants do not go through a miserable season without a trophy in the cabinet.

First on the schedule will be Morgan Mammila’s Chippa United side at FNB Stadium on the opening weekend of the season, on Sunday, August 6. Chippa beat Amakhosi 2-1 at FNB Stadium in the first half of last season, but they will be looking to turn things around to have a promising start to the campaign.

The third league match will also be away from home, against TS Galaxy, at Mbombela Stadium on August 20. Six days later, Ntseki’s men will host AmaZulu at FNB Stadium and Stellenbosch FC on August 30 at Danie Craven Stadium.

Last season, Chiefs lost three of their first five matches and they struggled to find any rhythm after that with inconsistent results throughout the campaign. Ntseki will fully be aware how important the first five matches of the campaign will be for him and the team to set the tone.
