Nasreddine Nabi warns Kaizer Chiefs fans ahead of new season
Nasreddine Nabi’s mandate at Kaizer Chiefs is unclear but the Tunisian coach does not want to make any promises to fans just yet.
Kaizer Chiefs’ new coach Nasreddine Nabi has made it clear to fans that he won’t say what they want to hear.
The 58-year-old Tunisian coach took over from Cavin Johnson last month following the club’s disappointing 2023/24 season. Having completed his assignment with Moroccan side FAR Rabat, Nabi brought four assistants to Naturena as he looks to transform the club’s fortunes.
Kaizer Chiefs have not won any silverware in nine years however Nasreddine Nabi is not making promises. The Soweto giants only have three trophies to fight for this campaign having failed to qualify for the MTN8.
Speaking to the media last month, the former Young African coach said it was important to be firm and honest with the management and supporters.
We need a very real strategy, we need to be honest with ourselves and our supporters,” said Nabi.
Nasreddine Nabi has already made five new signings at Kaizer Chiefs
“We have to go forward without any emotions, and with a lot of realism.
“When we have analysed what we have, and put a strategy together of how to drive the club forward … then we should get somewhere.
“I do not want to be making promises or making declarations. I won’t just be a populist, making fans hear what they want,” the Tunisan coach said as per Citizen.
Nasreddine Nabi spent three weeks with Kaizer Chiefs in Turkey during their pre-season. His first televised match in charge was a 4-0 defeat against Yanga FC last month in the Toyota Cup.
