The DStv Premiership‘s fallen giants Kaizer Chiefs will have to pay to get back up again. Hot news are saying Nasreddine Nabi has agreed to join Amakhosi for next season. Is he going to be free? Nope.
KAIZER CHIEFS TO APPOINT NASREDDIE NABI
According to KickOff, the 58-year-old Tunisian Nabi and Amakhosi have concluded a verbal agreement for next season. The report added to say that Kaizer Chiefs are waiting for Nabi to conclude the season with Moroccan giants AS FAR later this week.
Since Nabi joined the Botola League title chasers at the start of this season, he has a further year remaining on his contract. This means that Kaizer Chiefs have agreed to payout Nabi’s final year deal with AS FAR.
“The Soweto giants, who finished the 2023/24 campaign in a woeful 10th position – the worst in the club’s history, are now willing to pay compensation to AS FAR because Nabi remains contracted until June 2025,” SABC Sport’s Mazola Molefe reported.

ATTACKING STYLE WITH GOALS
As far as the expectations, Amakhosi followers and management will be expecating a coach who will win matches and thus win trophies. For that to happen, the Kaizer Cheifs coach needs to create a team that will score goals, and of course defend too. But you can’t win without scoring. Goals are more essential.
Looking at Nabi’s recent projects in the past three seasons, the Tunisia won two league titles, while a third could follow this weekend. The success has been made possible by scoring 173 goals in about three seasons.
