Ex-Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brian Baloyi has asked the clubs supporters to be patient with new head coach Fernando da Cruz as he prepares the team ahead of the new season.
Da Cruz from France, whose last job was as technical manager for the national team of Morocco, joined Chiefs recently on a two-year contract, replacing co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze, who guided Amakhosi to a third-place finish last term and to book a place in the CAF Confederation Cup next season.
While there is some scepticism about the new coach from a section of Chiefs supporters, Baloyi said Da Cruz should be given an opportunity like the club did with previously unknown coaches Paul Dolezar, Philippe Troussier, Stuart Baxter and Muhsin Ertugral, who went on to guide the club to success.
