“He brings a wealth of knowledge that will continue to build our academy programmes and scouting network to take the Club forward with the aim of imprinting the Chiefs philosophy throughout every level of the club,” Motaung said.
Johnson has been without a job since he parted ways with Egyptian giants Al Ahly, where he served as Pitso Mosimane’s assistant coach, in 2021.
The coach’s experience will come in handy for Chiefs, especially in their scouting department which has been under a spotlight as the club goes through a difficult period.
Amakhosi have gone for an unprecedented eight years without winning any silverware.
