Kaizer Chiefs confirmed the appointment of Cavin Johnson as the new head of their academy on Friday afternoon.
The 64-year-old Johnson’s portfolio also includes a full oversight of the Naturena-based club’s youth academy and scouting network.
“We are delighted to bring coach Cavin on board. He brings a wealth of knowledge that will continue to build our academy programs and scouting network in order to take the club forward with the aim of imprinting the Kaizer Chiefs philosophy throughout every level of the club. We believe coach Cavin possesses all the attributes to steer us in the direction we want to go, which is to continue to create an elite development model that will lead us to sustainable success into the future,” Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Junior said.
Johnson once coached SuperSport United and Platinum Stars. He is also a former Al Ahly assistant coach, who served under the club’s erstwhile mentor Pitso Mosimane.
