Kaizer Chiefs are gearing up for the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season with renewed energy and big plans.
The club, which struggled last season and finished 10th on the league table, recently returned from a pre-season tour in Turkey.
In a bold move to change their fortunes, Chiefs have appointed Nasreddine Nabi as their new head coach, along with a new technical team.
Nabi brings with him a fresh perspective and a dedicated team, including assistant coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Fernando Da Cruz.
The technical lineup also features Ilyes Mzoughi as the goalkeeper coach and Safi Majdi as the conditioning coach.
This new team is expected to bring a revitalized approach to the club.
Nabi takes over from Cavin Johnson, who served as interim coach since October 2023, following the departure of Molefi Ntseki after a brief stint as head coach.
Reflecting on the Previous Season
Last season was a tough one for the Glamour Boys, who managed nine wins, nine draws, and twelve losses.
They ended the season with 36 points, missing out on a top-eight finish.
The team and fans are hopeful that the changes in the coaching staff will lead to better results this season.
