Kaizer Chiefs have appointed former Free State Stars mentor Giovanni Solinas as their new coach ahead of the 2018/19 Premiership season.
Amakhosi chairman Kaizer Motaung confirmed the much-anticipated appointment of a new tactician via the club’s official Facebook page today.
Solinas had two spells at Ea Lla Koto first taking over from Ernst Middendorp in December 2015 before quitting in May 2016, citing “personal reasons” for his immediate resignation.
The Italian tactician has beaten reported candidates such as current Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter, current Stars coach Luc Eymael and Township Rollers mentor Nikola Kavazovic to the position.
