Amid growing speculation regarding the possible axing of Nasreddine Nabi, Kaizer Chiefs’ sporting director, Kaizer Motaung Jr, addressed a question about the coach’s future in an intriguing manner.
Reports over the weekend said Chiefs were set to fire the Tunisian mentor, just days after he led the club to a historic Nedbank Cup victory over rivals Orlando Pirates.
The former AS FAR Rabat and Young Africans coach ended a 10-year trophy drought on Saturday afternoon. The Sunday Times reported that the club’s management will part ways with Nabi and his entire technical team at the end of the season.
Nabi signed a two-year contract with an additional one-year option at the beginning of the season. In his first season at the club, Amakhosi have struggled for form in the league, winning eight games and drawing six in 26 games.
They currently sit in ninth place with two games before the curtain comes down on the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season.
HERE’S WHAT KAIZER MOTAUNG JR SAID WHENASKED ABOUT NABI’S CHIEFS FUTURE
“The coach has got another season with us after this. But, at the same time also, like we do after every season, we sit down and review,” he told 5FM.
“We know that the results in the league have been a bit inconsistent. We know we’ve just been able to achieve a record milestone. So, with everything else, we’re moving forward, we’re planning the way forward. We want to really savour this moment, use this moment in a massive way moving forward to galvanise supporters and galvanise the tech team, the players and staff for the mission ahead. So, we’re just planning for the future.”
After winning their 14th Nedbank Cup trophy, Amakhosi now turn their focus to the next league encounter. They visit Sekhukhune United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Following this, they will face Polokwane City at the FNB Stadium in what will be the season’s final match.
