Chiefs’ exit from the league cup means the team’s trophy drought continues, having last won a trophy in 2014 when they won the MTN8.

“They have given up on winning any trophy with Komphela. The boss [Kaizer Motaung] is not happy with how things have gone so far under Komphela. He has been supporting Komphela until now, but now he is doubting that Chiefs will win anything under Komphela,” said the source.

Chiefs’ next game is against AmaZulu away in Durban on Wednesday night.
