Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs, are reportedly in advanced discussions with Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi as they look to end their nine-year trophy drought.
The club’s hierarchy, led by chairman Kaizer Motaung and his son Bobby Motaung, are spearheading negotiations with Nabi, who has emerged as the leading candidate to take over the vacant managerial position.
Nabi’s impressive track record, which includes back-to-back trebles with Tanzanian club Young Africans SC, has made him an attractive prospect for the Amakhosi faithful.
Sources close to the club suggest that Nabi’s tactical acumen and winning mentality are exactly what Chiefs need to reclaim their former glory.
The club’s fans have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of silverware in recent years, and the pressure is mounting on the management to deliver results.
The potential appointment of Nabi is seen as a significant step towards achieving this goal, as his experience and success in African football could prove invaluable.
However, the negotiations are ongoing, and no official announcement has been made yet. Should Nabi accept the offer, he will face the daunting task of rebuilding a team that has struggled to find consistency and compete at the highest level.
The appointment would also mark a new era for Kaizer Chiefs, as they look to embrace a more modern and progressive approach to football.
Nabi’s tactical flexibility and emphasis on player development could revolutionize the club’s playing style and bring back the attacking flair that was once their trademark.
