A third Kaizer Chiefs coach is set to jet out of the country to further his coaching badges, the Siya crew understands. In August last year, Soccer Laduma reported that 31-year-old Tshidiso Letsholonyane had flown out to Ireland, where he went to complete his UEFA B Licence through the Irish FA.
He started off in the club's U15s before he graduated to become the U17 coach in 2020, a position he still holds to this day. Similarly, the club's assistant coach, Dillon Sheppard, also made his way to Ireland to complete his coaching badges this year.
The former winger followed in the footsteps of fellow assistant coach Arthur Zwane, who worked on his UEFA B Licence whilst in charge of the club's DStv Diski Challenge side in 2019.
Now, the latest news reaching this publication is that the club's former left back, Jimmy Jambo, is set to become the third coach, in recent times, to jet out. The 35-year-old mentor will make his way to Zambia, where he is set to complete his CAF B Licence through the Zambian FA. Jambo was a prominent left back for the club. However, a bad knee injury curtailed his career, which saw him retire from the game aged just 26.
The Siya crew has been informed that the Zimbabwean, who has been working in Amakhosi's development structures, forms part of the long-term plans at the Naturena-based outfit, where he could take up a technical team position in years to come.
