Hunt had previously denied being in talks with Chiefs management when Phakaaathi contacted him for a comment after Middendorp was dropped by the club.

The four-time league title winning coach, however, was unveiled as a new Chiefs coach on Thursday.

Chiefs supporters, who were unhappy when the club rehired Middendorp, seem to be happy with Hunt’s appointment, with some believing that Hunt will lead the club back to its former glory days.

Well done now I so hope that FIFA lift the transfer ban so that the coach can get his desired players to steer us back to glory days…. The coach is as good as his players. For a man to do a good job he need proper tools at his disposal & pic.twitter.com/e5PznM4RAo
