By implementing an elite development model, the Club aims to achieve sustainable success in the future.
Johnson’s coaching journey began at the Transnet School of Excellence, where he worked as a junior coach and had the opportunity to mentor talented individuals such as Dillon Sheppard, the current assistant coach of Kaizer Chiefs.
With his UEFA professional coaching license and extensive experience in youth football, Johnson has acquired coaching licenses from CAF, the Dutch Football Association, and the Brazilian CBF.
The 64-year-old coach also served as the Director of the Royal Bafokeng Sports Academy from 2008 to 2012, contributing to the development of the Platinum Stars academy.
Furthermore, he has held coaching positions at Platinum Stars, SuperSport United, AmaZulu, and Black Leopards. Johnson’s time as an assistant to Pitso Mosimane at Al Ahly proved instrumental in shaping his understanding of the demands and expectations of a big club, winning two CAF Champions League titles in 2020 and 2021.
Most recently, Johnson was assisting NB La Masia, a team in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. Now, he eagerly looks forward to taking on the crucial role of leading the youth and scouting departments at one of the most prestigious football clubs on the African continent.
Johnson sees joining Kaizer Chiefs as an opportunity to contribute his extensive experience from over two decades of working with youth.
In his new position, Johnson aims to unearth and develop the next generation of talented players, hoping to find future stars who can don the iconic Kaizer Chiefs jersey.
He expresses his gratitude to the Chairman, Bobby Motaung, Kaizer Jr., Jessica, and Kemiso for the opportunity to join such a renowned organization.
