With that in mind and with Nabi yet to finish with his duties in Morocco, it remains debatable if there will be enough time for all the preparations to be done although the club will know better about their plans.
Nabi, 58, is expected to bring in his own technical team which includes two assistant coaches, a physical trainer and an analyst.
Soccer Laduma contacted Chiefs for comment but the club had not responded by the time this report was published.
