Osimhen clinches top award in Turkey

Football pundit, Mamadou Gaye has urged South African club Kaizer Chiefs to appoint former Nigeria manager Sunday Oliseh as their next coach.

Kaizer Chiefs have been without a substantive coach since last October after they parted ways with Nasreddine Nabi.

The Glamour Boys eventually announced that coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze will lead the team on an interim basis for the remainder of the 2025-2026 season.

Speaking on SuperSport’s Soccer Africa, Gaye said: “A professional club like Kaizer Chiefs, I expect them to have a permanent coach.

“All the top clubs in the world can’t go eight months or one year with a caretaker coach.

“Let them take Sunday Oliseh. I’m just throwing out a name; there are many out there.”

Oliseh is currently a free agent, having managed clubs like Verviétois, Fortuna Sittard and SV 19 Straelen in the past.
