Kaizer Chiefs Sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr. says Nasreddine Nabi is the right man to “restore Amakhosi to their rightful place”.
Chiefs announced the arrival of Nabi on Sunday when he joined the team’s training camp in Türkiye, but hadn’t confirmed any further details.
On Thursday, they stated Nabi signed a two-year contract with an option for another year, and also unveiled his technical team.
Kaizer Jr. opened up on the “exhaustive process” of choosing Nabi, saying the club have high hopes he is the right man for the job.
“After what has been a fairly exhaustive vetting process, it gives us great pleasure to finally welcome our new head coach to Kaizer Chiefs,” says Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.
“We believe we have found the right man to fulfil our vision of restoring Amakhosi to our rightful place at the top of the football pyramid, and we welcome coach Nabi and his technical team with the pledge of unity and support in pursuit of our common goal.”
The club further stated that Nabi and his technical team are currently assessing the state of the squad.
“The new technical staff have hit the ground running and are all currently in Türkiye conducting the pre-season training camp, where they are assessing the overall state of the playing squad and devising methods and strategies to steer the team in a progressive direction,” the club stated.
“We welcome coach Nabi and his technical team to Amakhosi. We wish them all the best and look forward to a much improved 2024/25 season.”
The Glamour Boys will host Tanzanian giants Young Africans in the inaugural Toyota Cup at Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein as part of their pre-season plans.
