Kaizer Chiefs could part ways with Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari after just one season at the club. The 25-year-old was signed from TS Galaxy as a replacement for the legendary Itumeleng Khune but has struggled to impress since his arrival.
Ntwari played only five league matches before suffering an injury, conceding more than 10 goals in that short period. Upon his return, head coach Nasreddine Nabi opted to bench him in favor of Bruce Bvuma, who has since taken over as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper. Reports suggest that Ntwari is now looking for a move to Europe, where he had initial interest before joining Amakhosi. According to The Citizen’s Mgosi Squad, the goalkeeper is eager to revive his career elsewhere after a disappointing spell in South Africa.
Despite investing in Ntwari, Kaizer Chiefs may have no choice but to release him, especially with the club’s ongoing struggles in the league. The Glamour Boys have conceded 28 goals this season, giving them the third-worst defensive record in the league. With key defender Rushwin Dortley also out injured, their defense remains a major concern. To strengthen their goalkeeping department, Chiefs are reportedly eyeing Chippa United’s Stanley Nwabili and SuperSport United’s Ricardo Goss. Both goalkeepers have impressed in the PSL and could provide the stability Chiefs need. With seven league matches remaining, the club must make critical decisions to improve its squad ahead of next season. Whether Ntwari will leave or stay remains to be seen, but Chiefs clearly need a reliable goalkeeper to compete with rivals like Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates
