Petersen Denies Chiefs Thrive Without Absent Coach Nabi

The goalkeeper dismisses a fan narrative and says the squad remains focused on its next matches.

Overview

  • Brandon Petersen called claims that players perform better without Nasreddine Nabi a conspiracy and said the group respects whoever leads the team.
  • Nabi did not travel to Angola for the CAF tie, with assistants Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze in charge for a 1-0 first‑leg loss to Kabuscorp.
  • Reports describe contract termination talks linked to a coaching licence issue, with some outlets saying Nabi’s papers for CAF bench duty have expired.
  • The Citizen reported that Nabi, now in Tunisia, says he has parted ways with Chiefs, while the club has offered no clear confirmation.
  • Chiefs target a response at home to Marumo Gallants on Wednesday, having also been drawn away to Stellenbosch in the Carling Knockout round of 16.
