Assuming the role of Kaizer Chiefs head coach in 1983, Casares steered the Amakhosi to that year's Datsun Challenge, but had an enmity with former coach Banks Setlhodi and poor league results which eventually got him dismissed. The Argentine was also unpopular with the Kaizer Chiefs players who questioned his qualifications.
