Kaizer Chiefs latest: Inacio Miguel on why he joined Amakhosi

Kaizer Chiefs defender Inacio Miguel has explained the reason he kdecided to leave Petro de Luanda for the Soweto giants.

Miguel is one of the eight new signings brought in by Kaizer Chiefs in this transfer window on a three-year deal.

Now, the Angolan said having won every domestic trophy with Petro during his two-year stay, he then felt he needed a new challenge.

And when Kaizer Motaung Jr told him about the new Kaizer Chiefs project, Miguel immediately easily bought into the idea.

In addition, Miguel said he couldn’t have chosen a better team to start with than Kaizer Chiefs whom he described as a ‘sleeping giant’.

WHY MIGUEL JOINED KAIZER CHIEFS

“Basically, it’s the project that Kaizer [Jr] talked to me [about] to make me view that, in the future, they want to make something bigger,” said Miguel as per SABC Sport.

“I think I won everything at Petro de Luanda in the two years I stayed there.

“So, personally, I felt I needed a new challenge, and what better club than Kaizer Chiefs – the sleeping giant – to start something different again, and of course, the future project made me move here.”

MIGUEL NOT DWELLING IN THE PAST

Meanwhile, Miguel wasn’t keen to dwell on Amakhosi’s nine-year drought, saying the focus is towards the future.

Miguel added that if they focus on the past then they may lose focus on what they need to do to achieve their objectives.

“I understand that the club wants to do something different, they want to change, they want to make something that they haven’t made in the past years, and that’s the biggest reason I’m here,” he said.

“I want to try to help my teammates to do something different, and basically that was the main reason for me to move to Kaizer Chiefs.”
