Kaizer Chiefs have released four players this past week as part of their efforts to revamp the team for next season.
The players released are Edmilson Dove, Sabelo Radebe, Njabulo Blom, and Ranga Chivaviro. On Tuesday, Amakhosi announced that the Mozambican defender, Edmilson Dove, is no longer contracted to the team after three years with the club.
“Kaizer Chiefs and defender Edmilson Dove will part ways when his contract expires at the end of June.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Edmilson for his contributions to the Club and wish him all the best in his future endeavours,” Chiefs said in a statement.
Kaizer Chiefs release Edmilson Dove
Last Wednesday, the club parted ways with Radebe, Blom, and Chivaviro. Some fans were surprised by Chivaviro’s departure, especially considering how effective he was after Nasreddine Nabi took charge in July.
“Kaizer Chiefs will not be extending striker Ranga Chivaviro’s contract when it expires at the end of the month,” the statement read.
“The Limpopo-born attacker joined Amakhosi from Marumo Gallants for the 2023/24 season on a two-year deal. He scored nine goals and provided one assist in 45 official matches while wearing the Chiefs colours over two seasons.”
Kaizer Chiefs signed a total of 10 players last season but failed to improve as they finished ninth in the Betway Premiership last season. The team is set to jet off to Europe in the coming weeks for their pre-season training.
