Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the appointment of Kaizer Motaung Jr as the club's sporting director on Thursday.
The appointment of Motaung Jr comes shortly after the arrival of Molefi Ntseki as Head of Technical and Youth Development Academy and the return of Stuart Baxter as head coach.
"As part of the process of making notable and meaningful changes at Kaizer Chiefs, the Club is delighted to announce the appointment of former player Kaizer Motaung Jr. as Amakhosi's Sporting Director," the club said in a statement released.
Motaung Jr, one of five children of Kaizer Motaung Sr, will officially take up his new position as of Thursday, 1 July 2021.
"I am thankful to the Chairman, Ntate Motaung, for the honour and opportunity to serve the Club at this level. This appointment is a clear indication of his belief in my abilities, which I don’t take for granted," acknowledged Motaung Jr.
"I am a student of the game and have remained one even after I hung up my boots in January 2014. I will work within the structure and ensure I play my part in ensuring that we take Kaizer Chiefs to new heights and reclaim our rightful position in African football."
Motaung Jr added: "I am looking forward to continuing to work with my colleagues. We need to maintain Kaizer Chiefs as a household name in world football and we’ve shown that it can be done after reaching the CAF Champions League final for the first time.
"Our task will be ensuring that there are proper and solid structures in place from U13, U15, U17, U19, Reserves, up to the Senior Team," concluded Kaizer Jr.
