Amakhosi fans are getting very excited about the prospect of the ex-Bidvest Wits coach signing on as Ernst Middendorp’s replacement

Kaizer Chiefs fans took to Twitter en masse to air their views on the imminent arrival of ex-Bidvest Wits chief Gavin Hunt as head coach.

Reports in the South African media on Thursday suggest that the 56-year-old is on the brink of being unveiled by Amakhosi as the replacement for Ernst Middendorp.

The German coach oversaw a remarkable 2019-20 campaign in which Chiefs led the table for almost the entirety of the season before succumbing at the death as they were overhauled by Mamelodi Sundowns on the final day.

Editors’ Picks

  • Why Man Utd won’t be signing Tottenham-bound Madrid duo Bale and Reguilon
  • From spotting Fabregas to his shock exit – Francis Cagigao’s remarkable 24-year Arsenal story revealed

While the Brazilians thumped Black Leopards 3-0, Chiefs were held 1-1 by Baroka and ultimately opened the door to Sundowns nabbing the title.

Welcome Gavin Hunt to the mighty Amakhosi ✌️

But I really think Chiefs needs to sign new players instead of chopping and changing coaches. ijs

Kaizer chiefs should give Gavin Hunt a blank cheque if they want him to flourish. It’s the secret to Pitso Mosimane’s success at sundowns.

Middendorp was ultimately dismissed for his failure, and Hunt—along with ex-Kenya boss Adel Amrouche—has been heavily tipped for the post.

It appears likely that a deal is imminent, with reports in SA revealing on Thursday that the former Hellenic full-back was close to agreeing a deal.

So Kaizer chiefs fans think Gavin Hunt is the solution to all their problems 😌😌 pic.twitter.com/OmA0SOW45N

Gavin Hunt believes in young players, I’m convinced he will use Bruce Bvuma as no 1 goalie and we might see the likes of Boss ya Mboka leaving the FC

Hunt has extensive experience in the South African game, having won a trio of PSL titles during a glittering spell with SuperSport United, as well as spells with Moroka Swallows, Leopards and Wits.

He has been named PSL Coach of the Season on four occasions.

Gavin Hunt: Steve, do you think joining Kaizer Chiefs would be a great idea?

It’s gonna be interesting to see what Gavin Hunt does with a bigger budget for players. He’s won titles with small budgets compared to the big 3 teams.

Gavin Hunt wont win the first 5 games and that angry fan base will be chasing him with SuperSport cameras… pic.twitter.com/zFa8JRob61

Where was Gavin Hunt coaching all this time?

Was he coaching in a different league where he wasn’t in competition with Pitso?

Why the Zoo behaving as if he just dropped out of nowhere to take over at that pathetic club. pic.twitter.com/E6q1QWO07U

Gavin Hunt is a top notch coach, one of the best to Coach in the PSL. He does have a history of playing with skillful players (although gets annoyed with aimless showboating. which is understandable)

I have just never imagined him working peacefully with Bobby Motaung.
