After a mixed start to his first season at Amakhosi, Kaizer Chiefs defender Miguel Inacio heads into the next campaign as the new club captain.
The 29-year-old centre-back joined Chiefs from Petro de Luanda. In his debut season for the Glamour Boys, Miguel played 28 times and scored four goals across all competitions.
His discipline has let him down at times forcing him to miss several games due to suspension. He received four yellow cards and a red card.

According to reports, the Kaizer Chiefs captain earns roughly R350 000 per month, making him one of the highest-paid players in the PSL.
“PontoZero reports that Chiefs paid USD250 000 (approx. R4,4 million) for his transfer from Petro where his minutes were limited,” KickOff reported.
