Chiefs legend Baloyi moves on

KAIZER Chiefs legend Brian Baloyi has been released from his contract and will leave the club at the end of the month.

The 44-year-old returned to Chiefs two seasons ago and played a role as assistant to the late goalkeeper coach Alex Revoredo.

He remained active in the club’s goalkeeping structures after Revoredo’s death last year but questions were raised about his role after Chiefs appointed Lee Baxter as head of goalkeeping in February.

Chiefs boss Kaizer Motaung said on Tuesday that Baloyi’s contract would expire at the end of the month and would not be renewed.

“I wish to thank Brian for his contribution during his return to the club which is his home‚” he said.

“When we brought Brian back in the fold we had intentions to have a longer engagement‚ but he recently indicated a willingness to pursue other ventures.

“We gave him our blessings and we will continue to collaborate with him going forward,” Motaung said. – TimesLIVE
