Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Nasreddine Nabi has dismissed rumours that head coach Nasreddine Nabi will be leaving by the end of the season.
Just a day after the Tunisian mentor guided Amakhosi to their first trophy in 10 years after beating Orlando Pirates in the Nedbank Cup final, the Sunday Times had published a story that the coach and his technical team will be leaving by the end of the season.

However, Motaung Jr. insisted Nabi still has one year contract at Naturena, although admitting that they will do their annual review once the campaign has concluded.
“Coach has got another season after this with us now,” he told Xoli Zondo on 5FM on Monday morning.
“At the same time, like we do it after every season, we sit down and review. We know that results in the league have been inconsistent.
“We know we’ve just been able to achieve a record mile stone. With everything else, we’re moving forward in our planning and we want to savour this moment, view this moment in a massive way moving forward.
“Galvanise the supporters, galvanise the technical team, the players, the staff for the mission ahead. So, we’re just planning for the future.”
It was Nabi’s third trophy in his fifth cup final after he also lifted two FAT Cups with Young Africans in Tanzania, where he’d also claimed two league titles.
Chiefs extended their dominance in the Nedbank Cup, lifting the trophy for a 14th time in their history.
