GOALThe legendary Amakhosi player’s illustrious career has been gradually diminishing for a while now, and the demands for him to retire are growing louder.
The 37-year-old goalkeeper appears uninterested in retiring from playing, as he firmly believes he possesses the necessary skills to excel at this level.
After Kaizer Chiefs chose not to extend his contract, which ended in June, Khune was excluded from the team’s pre-season tour in Turkiye.
The Amakhosi hierarchy’s decision clearly indicates that the club is ready to progress without their experienced goalkeeper.
And if that was not clear enough, Chiefs’ signing of TS Galaxy’s Rwandan custodian Fiacre Ntwari truly means the writing is on the wall for Khune.
Chiefs are reportedly interested in retaining Khune’s services at the club in a non-playing role, despite not offering him a player contract.
Whether Khune, who has expressed his desire to keep playing, will shift into a different position at Chiefs or seek a new club to extend his career is yet to be determined.
GOAL discusses why the veteran stopper would be best served calling it a day and transitioning into a new role at Amakhosi, ensuring he doesn’t taint his legacy.
