NEWS SCOOP: BAXTER BACK TO BOOST AMAKHOSI

Tuesday, 1 June, 2021

Kaizer Chiefs have moved swiftly to announce the return of Stuart Baxter as the head coach of the club on a two-year-deal.

The former Bafana Bafana head coach will be returning to the Soweto Giants for his second stint, having been the last coach to lead Amakhosi to the league title in 2015 after a successful tenure. 

During this time Baxter oversaw 110 matches for Chiefs in all competitions, winning 66, drawing 25 and losing only 19 matches as he led the Glamour Boys to two league and cup doubles in 2012/13 with the Nedbank Cup and league titles, and again in 2014/15 season with MTN8 cup and league victories.

The 67-year-old Scotsman had been at the helm of Indian Super League side Odisha FC, with whom he parted ways with in February this year, but had not moved to a new club despite links to the Swedish leagues. 

Amakhosi, who currently are in 11th  position in the DStv Premiership, with two fixtures left, parted ways with Gavin Hunt recently but still have to navigate tricky continental Semi-Final fixtures against Wydad Casablanca.
