Shock Exit: Kaizer Chiefs And Nasreddine Nabi Set To Part Ways

Kaizer Chiefs are once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Just weeks into the new season, word has broken that head coach Nasreddine Nabi will be leaving the club with immediate effect.

Why Nabi Is Out

The sticking point is not results on the pitch, but rather his CAF qualifications. Without the necessary accreditation, Nabi is barred from sitting on the bench during continental interclub competitions. For a club like Chiefs, who have ambitions of progressing deep into CAF tournaments, this loophole has proven too big to ignore.

Another Twist In Amakhosi’s Coaching Carousel

For long-suffering Amakhosi supporters, this feels like déjà vu. Chiefs have chopped and changed coaches over the past few years, from Gavin Hunt to Stuart Baxter and Arthur Zwane. Nabi, who was brought in to steady the ship, was seen as a bold appointment with experience from North and East Africa. His tactical discipline was supposed to give Chiefs an edge, but now it looks like another short-lived stint.

What Happens Next?

The club is expected to release a formal statement soon, but speculation is already mounting about who could step in. Chiefs’ technical team may have to scramble for an interim solution while the board weighs up a permanent replacement.

For a team that hasn’t lifted a major trophy in nearly a decade, this latest twist raises serious questions about long-term planning and whether Amakhosi’s leadership is capable of returning the club to its glory days.
