He has been heavily backed by Amakhosi faithful to bring back the glory days to Naturena, where they have not opened their trophy cabinet for over five years.
But the four-time league-winning tactician has now expressed his readiness to take up the challenge as he stressed what needs to be done now going forward.
"I'm very happy to be here and can't wait to get working. I'm very privileged and honoured to be here at Kaizer Chiefs, sometimes in football it's all about timing," Hunt said in a sit-down interview with the club.

"We need to win, because winning is what breeds a little bit [of confidence], but we also need to play in a way that people enjoy. But winning has got to be certainly the first prize."
