The coaching carousel at Naturena is spinning once again. Reports emerging from Algeria suggest that Sead Ramovic may soon be a free agent, reigniting long-standing rumors linking the former TS Galaxy tactician to Kaizer Chiefs.
Turbulence at CR Belouizdad
Despite a commendable run in the CAF Confederation Cup, Ramovic’s tenure at Algerian giants CR Belouizdad appears to be hitting a breaking point. Sources indicate that the 47-year-old German-born Bosnian coach has been internally suspended following growing tensions within the club’s leadership.
While Belouizdad currently sits fifth in the Algerian Ligue 1, the internal instability has reportedly led the club to begin scouting for his replacement. This sudden shift in Algeria could provide a golden opportunity for Kaizer Chiefs, who are rumored to be monitoring the situation closely as they weigh their long-term technical options.
A Proven Track Record in Mzansi
What makes Ramovic a particularly attractive prospect for Amakhosi is his extensive experience in the Betway Premiership. During his time with TS Galaxy, he achieved several notable milestones:
- Experience: Oversaw more than 100 matches in South Africa.
- Resilience: Successfully steered TS Galaxy away from relegation threats.
- Development: Gained a reputation for polishing young diamonds. Under his watch, players like Puso Dithejane (Chicago Fire) and Samukelo Kabini (Malmö) secured international moves, while others moved to big local clubs like Chiefs and Pirates.
Ramovic’s Stance on Amakhosi
Ramovic has always spoken of the Glamour Boys with high regard, even when previously linked to the job. “Kaizer Chiefs is one of the biggest and most historic clubs in African football… it has a special place in South African football,” he remarked in past interviews, though he was always careful to remain respectful of the coaches currently in the seat.
With his stint in North Africa seemingly nearing its end, those diplomatic answers may soon be put to the test.
