Kaizer Chiefs set to part ways with fan favourite
It's the end of the season for Kaizer Chiefs and they're set to make some big decision regarding their squad. Chiefs will finish yet another season outside the top eight, something that will call for a mass exodus. Although Chiefs managed to win the Nedbank Cup, their first trophy in 10-years, they won't play next season's MTN8. That will be the second time in a row that they miss out on the tournament and there will be consequences. One of those could be the parting of ways with coach Nasreddine Nabi and his whole technical staff. While that is still up for debate, what isn't is a player exodus. Not too long ago fan favourite George Matlou was rumoured to be at a crossroads with a contract renewal. The player re-endeared himself to the Chiefs faithful, after a good run in the cup run. But according to iDiski Times , that hasn't been enough to save his future at the club. The publication reports that he is soon to be rendered surplus to requirements. 'Kaizer Chiefs are set to part ways with midfielder George Matlou at the end of June. Matlou, 26, joined Chiefs in July 2022 from Moroka Swallows with the former Bidvest Wits youth development player signing a two-year contract with an option to extend for a further year. When his contract expired last season, Chiefs exercised the option which is now set to expire at the end of this coming June. Information gathered by iDiski Times states that Matlou will leave Chiefs at the end of next month (June), as Amakhosi have no plans in giving him a new contract at the club.' Wrote the publication. Matlou is set to form part of a larger group of players that will leave Chiefs this post season. It is thought the number will reach double figures. Amakhosi fans, is this the right decision from the club? Or is it only now that the 26-year-old really deserved to take some momentum into the next season? Let us know by clicking on the comment tab.
