Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt thinks that the Covid-19 disruption last season may have cost the Glamour Boys the league title.
Chiefs had seemingly been cruising towards a first league title in five seasons under the guidance of coach Ernst Middendorp, only to have their progress slowed by the halt to play due to South Africa’s initial lockdown as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
When the Glamour Boys returned to action, in front of empty stadiums, they struggled for rhythm and confidence and were eventually overtaken by Mamelodi Sundowns on the very last day of the league season.
