Have Kaizer Chiefs finally found their man? Amakhosi are reportedly set to conclude a deal with AS FAR’s Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi.
It looks like the wait is finally over. Kaizer Chiefs are set to be on the brink of finalising a deal with Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi of AS FAR in Morocco.
It’s been two weeks since Cavin Johnson concluded his seven-month interim coach role at Amakhosi. The Soweto giants have now accepted to appoint Nabi with his own technical team. The same deal collapsed before the start of the season when Kaizer Chiefs opted against appointing the 58-year-old with his own staff.
According to SABC Sport’s Mazola Molefe, Amakhosi are waiting for the conclusion of the Moroccan league. Additionally, Kaizer Chiefs are willing to payout Nabi’s final year-deal with AS FAR. They are the same club Nabi joined in July 2023. The Tunisian’s team are in second position and with two points behind Raja Casablanca in the Botola League table and with one match remaining.
“There’s been some developments regarding Kaizer Chiefs’ pursuit to appoint a new coach, and SABC Sport has established Nasreddine Nabi is again the overwhelming favourite for the hot seat,” the report said.
“The public broadcaster has been informed that Nabi is instead head and shoulders above the rest of the candidates, with the previous stumbling block that prevented the Tunisian from joining Chiefs no longer in the way.
“Information gathered by SABC Sport suggests Amakhosi are respectfully waiting for the Botola Pro League to conclude before finalising a deal that will see Nabi become their new head coach,” the report added.
