Mashamaite, who was part of the last team to win silverware at Chiefs in the 2014/15 season, says the team needs to transition into the modern way of doing things, identify their culture, invest in scouts, and appoint a coach who fits the club’s direction.
Mashamaite points to Mamelodi Sundowns as an example, citing their revolutionary approach to scouting and coaching.
He notes that Sundowns have invested heavily in scouting and have a huge scouting network, which has helped them identify players who fit their culture and philosophy.
He also emphasizes the importance of choosing a coach who resonates with the club’s culture and philosophy.
