Ex-Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Queiroz may become the next Kaizer Chiefs head coach. 

KickOff.com has been informed of Chiefs’ intention to speak to Queiroz, depending on whether he is available. The Mozambican-born coach is currently coaching the Iranian national team.

Queiroz was Bafana coach between 2000 and 2002, but was fired on the eve of the 2002 World Cup.

Meanwhile, another former Bafana coach Stuart Baxter is also on Chiefs’ radar.

The club’s football manager Bobby Motaung says they will “definitely” speak to Baxter, who has been recommended to the club.

Chiefs, however, will cast their net wide in search of the new coach and they are likely to kick-start the interviewing process soon.

Free State Stars coach Steve Komphela is also still in the running, but he is no longer considered the favourite for the job.

As it stands, Ace Khuse is the interim head coach for until the end of the season and he will be assisted by Doctor Khumalo and Arthur Zwane.
