Kaizer Chiefs’ strong start to the season with three wins and a draw was followed by a heavy 3-0 defeat to Sekhukhune United, raising questions over head coach Nasreddine Nabi’s role and position at the club.
Earlier this week, reports suggested that Chiefs and the Tunisian coach were set to part ways by mutual agreement, citing Nabi’s off-field commitments and the team’s poor performance against Sekhukhune in the Betway Premiership.
The club has since issued a statement on Nabi’s situation:
“Kaizer Chiefs confirms that Head Coach Nasreddine Nabi is currently not with the team as discussions between the Club and the Coach remain ongoing. The matter is internal in nature and is being addressed through the appropriate processes.
“The Club remains focused on ensuring stability and continuity for the players and supporters during this period.”
“As this is an internal matter, no further details will be shared at this stage. We appreciate the continued support and understanding of our supporters and the broader football community. Any updates will be communicated through official Club channels when appropriate.”
It remains unclear whether Chiefs will continue with Nabi as head coach moving forward.
