Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeping coach Ilyes Mzoughi is reportedly set to make a return to Naturena, with the experienced coach expected to arrive in South Africa this week as discussions over a new contract reach an advanced stage.
Mzoughi previously worked within the Kaizer Chiefs technical setup and made an impression during his time at the club. His potential return would bring familiarity and experience to the technical team, particularly in the development and preparation of the club’s goalkeepers.
The latest development is understood to have received the approval of head coach Fernando Da Cruz, who has reportedly given the green light for Mzoughi to return and work alongside him once again. The two are expected to continue building a technical structure focused on improving the squad and preparing the team for the challenges of the new season.
Mzoughi’s return could be viewed as another important piece in Da Cruz’s plans as Kaizer Chiefs continue to strengthen their football department. Goalkeeping remains a crucial area of the team, and having a coach who already understands the club’s environment, expectations and working structure could provide valuable continuity.
According to the latest reports, Mzoughi is expected to travel to South Africa during the course of this week to complete the necessary formalities and sign his new contract with the club. While the final announcement is still awaited, the move is being seen as positive news for the Amakhosi technical setup.
For Kaizer Chiefs supporters, the possibility of seeing Mzoughi back at Naturena will certainly be welcomed. His return would add experience to Da Cruz’s coaching staff while also potentially helping the club’s goalkeepers reach another level.
The club is yet to make an official announcement confirming the appointment, but all indications point towards Mzoughi being on his way back to Kaizer Chiefs.
If the deal is completed as expected, his return will mark another significant step in Fernando Da Cruz’s efforts to build a strong and competitive technical team ahead of the new campaign.
