Kaizer Chiefs have released five players ahead of the new season‚ including jersey No.10 Keegan Buchanan.
The announcements on Thursday caused a stir among their legion of fans on social media after the club announced the departure of Tsepo Masilela‚ Sibusiso Khumalo‚ Keagan Buchanan‚ Edmond Chirambandare and William Twala despite the head coaching job still being vacant.
“These players are immensely talented‚ but couldn’t find their form with us.
"We do not want to keep a good player inactive and that’s why we will allow them to express their talents elsewhere‚” said Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung.
Motaung added that Chiefs would make further announcements on new players and the appointment of a head coach.
“It will be just a matter of time before we will make further announcements.”
