Gastin Sirino will be key to Kaizer Chiefs’ ambitions for the upcoming season, as the club look to return to their glory days.
Amakhosi confirmed the signing of the Uruguayan on Sunday after he was let go by champions Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of the last campaign.
Sundowns’ decision to let the 33-year-old forward is believed to have contributed to the breakdown in the relationship between then head coach Rulani Mokwena and sporting director Flemming Berg.
“We decided to add some experience to our team by bringing in Sirino,” Motaung Jr was quoted by Hollywoodbets.
“We know his quality and believe he will help us this coming season. We’re looking forward to him sharing his experience with our younger players.”
Motaung also waxed lyrical about Sirino’s ability with the ball at his feet, which was known to get fans on their feet during his time with the Brazilians.
Mokwena has since left Sundowns and joined Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca.
Speaking after Sirino’s signing, Chiefs’ sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr highlighted the key factors that convinced them to get the deal done.
