Kaizer Chiefs have announced that they have parted ways with their embattled coach, Nasreddine Nabi. Assistant coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze will take charge of the team for the remainder of the season.
“Kaizer Chiefs and head coach Nasreddine Nabi confirm that after constructive engagements they have mutually agreed to conclude their professional relationship on an amicable basis,” the club said in a statement posted on social media.
Nabi has not been on the bench for Amakhosi since he was asked to step aside from club activities last month, just before their Champions League first preliminary trip to Angolan side Kabuscorp SCP.
The decision for Nabi to step aside came a day after Chiefs suffered their first Betway Premiership defeat of the new season at the hands of Sekhukhune United.
The team has struggled for consistency, failing to win any of their last three league matches — recording two draws and one loss. They will aim to return to winning form in their next fixture against Siwelele FC after the upcoming FIFA international window.
“After the announcement earlier today of a mutual parting of ways between Kaizer Chiefs and head coach Nasreddine Nabi, the club can confirm coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze will lead the technical team for the remainder of the 2025/26 season,” the statement added.
