Kaizer Chiefs appoint Ernst Middendorp as the new head coach.

Kaizer Chiefs football club has appointed a new coach after Giovanni Solinas quit halfway through his first season in charge.

A Chiefs statement said there had been an “amicable termination of the contract with immediate effect”.

In a statement on their twitter page Kaizer Chiefs announced the appointment of Ernst Middendorp as the new head coach with a deal for the next two and a half years.

Middendorp is back for his second stint at Amakhosi having been at the helm from 2005 to 2007.

“We were looking for a coach who is experienced and who has an understanding of the club’s footballing culture,” commented Kaizer Motaung.

The targeted assistant coach will be announced soon. Arthur Zwane will assist Middendorp for the upcoming three games.#HailTheChief pic.twitter.com/FPRM4IIKF7

Solinas has still not seen out a season in South Africa during his three tenures as coach, twice with Free State stars and now with Chiefs.

Chiefs are currently seventh on the log, 6 points adrift of Pirates at the top of the log.

Chiefs under Solinas also lost twice to Pirates this season – once in the league and once in the Cup.

According to the Club, assistant coach Patrick Mabedi’s contract has also been terminated.
