CHIEFS PLANNING ON BRINGING BACK DILLON SHEPPARD
Chiefs are planning on bringing ex-coach, Dillon Sheppard back to the help out the first team.
“That’s the plan. The club is believed to have spoken to the senior technical team about his addition and apparently all parties agreed that it’s a good idea, mainly in assisting with the local players whether young or experienced stars. So that’s the position right now,” the insider stated on SNL.
Furthermore, he could take up a hybrid coaching role at Chiefs next season.
“The arrangement is that he would be with the senior team during the week, and when, and if the DDC is playing, then he will be with them. You know most of the time coach Vela Khumalo is with the Under-17 national team and in September they are going to the FIFA Under-17 World Cup so coach Sheppard will still be coaching there (in the DDC) as well. Apparently that’s the arrangement as things stand,” he added on the same publication.
