Kaizer Chiefs went winless across an entire Spanish pre-season tour, and the fanbase is already side-eyeing the new gaffer. Amakhosi dropped their final tune-up 2-1 against Elche after over two weeks of European sparring, but fresh boss Fernando Da Cruz reportedly leveraged the tour to audit his roster before pivoting toward the Toyota Cup.
The Soweto giants face Zimbabwean outfit Scottland FC at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace in what doubles as Da Cruz's first real matchday prep and the squad's last rehearsal before their Betway Premiership campaign starts against Kruger United. Only two signings have landed thus far, though the front office is expected to keep shopping before the window slams shut.
Chiefs wrapped up a third-place finish behind Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns last term, and they're back in the MTN8 after missing the last couple of editions. Da Cruz is reportedly eyeing a back four of Solomons, Miguel, Moloisane, and Cross, with Petersen between the sticks and Velebayi, Duba, and Silva leading the press up top.
