Kaizer Chiefs urged not to renew ex-Mamelodi Sundowns star's contract - 'He can go and try elsewhere'

Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Humphrey Mlwane has urged the club not to renew Dillon Sheppard's contract next season. Chiefs <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/news/kaizer-chiefs-appoint-sheppard-and-zwane-as-hunts-assistants/ll77ab665hp31mmlyvtqqv7ws" target="_blank">added the former Bafana Bafana winger </a>to their technical team after appointing Gavin Hunt as their head coach in 2020. And now, Mlwane feels Amakhosi are doing a favour to Sheppard as he believes he has done nothing for the Soweto giants since joining the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

“The club cannot be seen as doing favours for some people because, at the end of the day, it is all about the team and the results," Humphrey Mlwane told <a href="https://www.snl24.com/soccerladuma/local/premiership/kaizer-chiefs/kaizer-chiefs-expected-to-make-dillon-sheppard-decision-20240418" target="_blank">Soccer Laduma.</a>"I’m sorry to say this because I may be seen as someone pushing for one of our own to lose his job, but the team isn’t making any progress, and everyone can see that. The team isn’t going anywhere."Yes, he Dillon (Sheppard) is a South African and one of us, but it doesn’t seem like he has done anything to help improve the team’s situation,'' he added. "He can go and try elsewhere. I’ve heard that his contract is nearing an end, and I don’t see why it would be difficult for him and the club to part ways."It’s not like they will be owing each other and things like that. The chiefs need to bring a new technical team altogether and start all over again.”

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

Sheppard's future at the Glamour Boys has been in doubt all season, with speculation growing throughout the year that he could be on his way out, more especially following the<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/news/arthur-zwane-demoted-former-bafana-bafana-head-coach-molefi-ntseki-named-new-kaizer-chiefs-head-coach/blt48639677abe44218" target="_blank"> demotion and firing of Arthur Zwane</a> and Molefi, respectively. However, the former now-defunct Bidvest Wits midfielder survived the chopping and kept his position as an assistant to interim coach Cavin Johnson.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

With Chiefs anticipated to make changes in its technical team next season, the Durban-born coach's future remains uncertain. It remains to be seen whether Chiefs hierarchy will fire him or demote him as they did to Zwane.
