In one of the worst kept secrets in local football, Kaizer Chiefs have officially announced the arrival of the club's new head coach Nasreddine Nabi.

It is proving to be a case of second time lucky as Chiefs have finally got their man.
This after local reports stated that the club has activated the coach's release clause with AS FAR, enabling him to join Amakhosi's pre-season preparations in Turkey.
Fans would remember that as first reported by the Siya crew, Chiefs were close to signing the Tunisian coach at the start of the 2023/24 campaign, though talks fell flat, which resulted in all-round denials from the Amakhosi camp.
We are delighted to welcome Coach Nasreddine Nabi to the Kaizer Chiefs family. We are happy to have you with us, Coach.

Chiefs have not had a permanent head coach since parting ways with Molefe Ntseki in October last year, though Cavin Johnson, who has subsequently left the club, filled in an interim capacity, leading the club to their worst ever PSL campaign.
The club has also announced that they will be spending the next three weeks in Turkey, where they will face 'top' opposition in preparation for the new campaign.
