Frustrated defender wants out at Kaizer Chiefs

Philani Zulu's stay at Kaizer Chiefs might be cut short with the left-back having struggled for game time under Ernst Middendorp, a source at the club has revealed.


Zulu  joined Amakhosi in 2017 from Maritzburg United but never cemented his place in the left-back position, though he managed to get some game time under then coach Steve Komphela.

“Phila is struggling at the club, I don’t really know what’s happening. I mean, he is such a quality player but the coach doesn’t give him a chance to play and you know what it’s like when a player gets frustrated,” said the source.
