Kaze expects chess match against ex-Chiefs coach Ben Youssef

Kaze and City mentor Khalil Ben Youssef worked together at Tanzanian giants Yanga SC before reuniting at AmaKhosi. 

Their shared history has given each of them an intimate understanding of the other's tactical approach, prompting Kaze to liken the encounter in Seshego to a game of chess, with both coaches expected to constantly anticipate and counter each other's moves.

"It's going to be a tricky one because we both know the deep ideas and philosophy of the other camp. I'm sure both parties are trying to come up with new ideas that the others will not be expecting."

Kaze reiterated his wish to keep Sekhukhune within the top five this season given the expectations from the hierarchy. 

"Sekhukhune United have always been a tough team to overcome and we have all seen how consistent they've been over the last few seasons with top five finishes. This means they are clearly doing something well behind the scenes, and this was one of the reasons that motivated me to join this project."

Asked about the reception at the club, Kaze suggested his methods have been well-received by the squad as the campaign gets underway.
