After Nasreddine Nabi’s appointment as Kaizer Chiefs’ head coach, there are concerns that his assistant coach, Fernando Da Cruz might be tempted to leave the club. This unexpected potential departure could pose a challenge to Nabi’s plans, as losing a key member of the coaching staff could disrupt the team’s preparations for the new season.
Kaizer Chiefs have started their preseason preparations in Turkey, stepping up their activities ahead of the new season. The club recently confirmed Nasreddine Nabi as their new head coach, ending speculation about his appointment.
A key factor in Nabi agreeing to join Amakhosi was the club’s decision to allow him to bring his own technical staff, which had been a point of contention in previous negotiations. With this condition met, Nabi is now focused on integrating his team and preparing for the upcoming season.
Kaizer Chiefs have appointed Fernando Da Cruz as the assistant coach to Nasreddine Nabi. Upon his arrival in Turkey, Nabi was joined by familiar faces, including Da Cruz and goalkeeper coach Ilyes Mzoughi.
Both had already been working with the returning squad members at Naturena for two weeks. Additionally, the team has welcomed new conditioning coach Majdi Safi, ensuring a comprehensive support staff for the upcoming season.
Nasreddine Nabi will be joined by additional members of his technical staff, including second assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef and performance analyst Ayman Makroud.
Despite the official announcement of Nabi’s appointment, there are reports from African football journalist Mickey Jnr that Kaizer Chiefs could already be in danger of losing assistant coach Fernando Da Cruz. This potential departure could impact the team’s preparations and stability ahead of the new season.

ALREADY SET TO LEAVE?
Mickey Jnr has been fairly accurate around Nabi news. He also got the first words of Da Cruz as a Chiefs assistant coach. Therefore, the latest news could prove to be accurate and a huge concern to the Glamour Boys and the new coach.
