Kaizer Chiefs identify Gaston Sirino replacement.

They appear to have a replacement in mind after allegations surfaced that Gaston Sirino is already under pressure at Kaizer Chiefs. Kaizer Chiefs reportedly already had a replacement lined up after it was reported that Gaston Sirino was causing issues. Sirino made a successful start to the season after joining the Chiefs as a free agent from Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sirino has only contributed three goals in nine games, though, and his form has suffered along with Chiefs’. Every time he played for Amakhosi this season, he was a live-wire, frequently igniting their attacks. Additionally, he has worked successfully with others and provided young Mduduzi Shabalala, Wandile Duba, and Mfundo Vilakazi with sound supervision. You would imagine that someone of that caliber at the club would also be disciplined and a role model off the field.

At the Chiefs, Sirino might be replaced.

This article revealed that Sirino had disciplinary problems, so that turned out not to be the case. According to reports, Chiefs are now thinking about his future with the team. Soccer-Laduma claims that they have already determined who will take his position. This is Azam FC’s Feisal Salum, a Tanzanian standout.

“You see with the Sirino story it is a bit tricky. Management is supporting him. And actually that’s where the problem is. The coach didn’t recommend his signing. He was actually signed by management with recommendations from scouts and agents. At the moment he is one of the team’s best players and he has to play. But if the coach had another player who who plays in that position then he would be using that player and not Sirino. As for the indiscipline – he is not (a trouble maker). He is a senior player and he leads by example and management likes and supports him,” said the source.

Salum is the person the Chiefs could use to replace Sirino in January, according to the second source.

Salum the top candidate?

You see the Tanzanian midfielder Feisal Salum that the (Chiefs) technical team has recommended, he is looked at as a replacement for Sirino as far as the coaches are concerned. He is the one who can take over (the starting spot) and challenge Sirino in that position. But if that doesn’t work out then the team will be caught between a rock and a hard place and continue using Sirino even if the technical team has problems with him,” said the source.
