The long wait for Kaizer Chiefs fans seems to be finally over. After weeks of speculation and anticipation, the Soweto giants are set to officially announce Nasreddine Nabi as their new head coach today.
Nabi’s arrival has been a source of much excitement for Amakhosi supporters. The experienced tactician boasts a successful track record, having led Tanzanian giants Yanga to back-to-back league titles in 2022 and 2023.
His brand of attacking football is expected to bring a fresh approach to the Chiefs’ style of play.
The appointment signifies the end of a tumultuous period for Kaizer Chiefs. Following a string of disappointing results last season, the club parted ways with coach Molefi Ntseki.
Cavin Johnson, initially brought in for the youth academy, took over on an interim basis. However, Johnson’s brief tenure was marked by mixed results and fan unrest, leading to his departure earlier this week.
Nabi’s arrival is expected to usher in a new era for Kaizer Chiefs. Reports suggest he has already begun assembling his backroom staff, with Fernando da Cruz, his trusted lieutenant, already arriving at Naturena.
Fans are also eagerly anticipating potential player signings, as Nabi is known for meticulously building squads that complement his tactical philosophy.
Today’s announcement officially closes the book on the club’s coaching saga. All eyes will now be on Nabi as he prepares to lead Kaizer Chiefs into the new season, with fans hoping for a return to the club’s glory days.
