Kaizer Chiefs legend Lucky Stylianou has made a surprising claim that there are no local coaches who can lead the Soweto giants out of their current state.
With Chiefs struggling for results under interim coach Cavin Johnson, the club is expected to send the 65-year-old mentor back to his main role as the Head of Academy at the end of the season.

Chiefs have won only one in their last nine matches across all competitions and were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup by Motsepe Foundation Championship strugglers Milford FC in the Last 32.
While Amakhosi are yet to give an indication on who might take charge of the team for the 2024/25 campaign, Mamelodi Sundowns senior coach Manqoba Mngqithi has emerged as a favourite for the job along several other big-name candidates, including some from outside the boarders of Mzansi.

Stylianou believes that Chiefs should take their search for a new coach beyond the borders of Mzansi for the team to improve.
"I don't think there is a coach in South Africa at this stage … maybe one or two, but I can't see any coach within our borders who can coach Kaizer Chiefs. He has to come from across the border and he has to be a very good coach," said Stylianou.
