5. Clive Barker

Clive Barker’s biggest accomplishment remains guiding South Africa to glory at the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations.

4. Stuart Baxter

In the South African premiership Stuart Baxter made a mark during his days at Kaizer Chiefs. On 7 May 2012 Baxter was announced as the new manager of Amakhosi.  In the first season under his management, Amakhosi completed the double, finishing first in the 2012-13 season as well as defeating Supersport in the Nedbank cup.
