Overview

  • Kaizer Chiefs and Nasreddine Nabi mutually agreed to part ways, with both sides issuing an amicable joint statement after what the club called constructive engagements.
  • Assistants Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze have been appointed to run the technical team for the remainder of the 2025/26 campaign.
  • During Nabi’s absences for illness, compassionate leave and suspension, Ben Youssef and Kaze compiled a 7-2-2 record, reinforcing the case for continuity.
  • Coverage reports the announcement was held up by settlement negotiations, and the club did not confirm media claims about Nabi’s coaching licence.
  • Nabi delivered the Nedbank Cup to end a long trophy drought despite uneven league results, and Chiefs now prepare for a CAF Confederation Cup tie against AS Simba followed by a league meeting with Siwelele FC.
