Orlando Casares was an Argentinean retired football coach who is last known to have managed Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa. Orlando also managed the Nicaragua National team in 1980 - 1981. He is the father of Matias Casares, the president of the Haitian Soccer Association based in Fort Lauderdale.[1]
Assuming the role of Kaizer Chiefs head coach in 1983, Casares steered the Amakhosi to that year's Datsun Challenge,[2] but had an enmity with former coach Banks Setlhodi and poor league results which eventually got him dismissed.[3] The Argentine was also unpopular with the Kaizer Chiefs players who questioned his qualifications.[2]
