Champions League Semifinalists Linked With Kaizer Chiefs Coach Nasreddine Nabi

Interest in the Tunisian tactician grows despite a tough debut season in South Africa.

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi may not have had the easiest start to life in the DStv Premiership, but that hasn’t stopped him from attracting serious attention across the African continent. According to the latest reports from Soccer Laduma, a CAF Champions League semifinalist has now been linked with the Tunisian-born mentor.

Chiefs’ Struggles Under Nabi

Since joining Amakhosi, Nabi has faced significant pressure to turn around the fortunes of the club, which has gone nearly a decade without lifting silverware. Despite flashes of promise, inconsistency has plagued Chiefs this season, with fan frustration growing after a string of disappointing results.

However, sources close to the situation suggest that clubs outside South Africa are not only monitoring Nabi’s progress but also impressed with his tactical acumen and previous success with Young Africans SC in Tanzania.

Interest From African Giants

While the identity of the club remains undisclosed, it has been confirmed that one of the four 2023/24 CAF Champions League semifinalists is exploring the possibility of bringing Nabi on board. The development highlights just how much respect the coach still commands in African football circles.

Nabi previously guided Young Africans to back-to-back Tanzanian Premier League titles and a CAF Confederation Cup final appearance, building a reputation as a coach who can deliver results and build competitive squads.

What’s Next for Nabi?

The interest from elsewhere could pose a dilemma for Kaizer Chiefs, who are already under pressure to make key decisions about their technical team ahead of the next campaign. If Chiefs fail to secure a strong finish to the season or qualify for continental football, Nabi might be tempted by the opportunity to lead a side already competing on the biggest stage in Africa.

With Amakhosi fans desperate for success and the board likely to evaluate performance come season-end, Nabi’s future remains uncertain. Whether he stays to complete his rebuilding project or accepts a new challenge elsewhere will be a story worth watching in the coming weeks.
