Chiefs have not lifted the Nedbank Cup trophy since Stuart Baxter’s first spell in 2013, but they came close to winning it in 2018 only to suffer a narrow 1-0 defeat to TS Galaxy in the final.

Amakhosi are also under immense pressure to end a seven-year trophy drought – the last time they won a major trophy was in 2015.
