While the whispers had been growing louder over the past few weeks, no one expected the news to break this suddenly — or with such intensity.

But what’s making headlines beyond the exit itself is the bombshell reaction from Kaizer Chiefs icon and national legend Lucas Radebe.

 

The club confirmed Nabi’s departure late Thursday, citing “mutual consent” and “strategic differences” as the reasons behind the split.

But fans aren’t buying the PR fluff — and neither is Radebe.

Within hours of the news breaking, Lucas Radebe took to social media and stunned fans with an emotionally charged post: “Gutted.

We had something here.

What happened behind the scenes needs answers.

This wasn’t supposed to end like this.

Thousands of retweets.

Tens of thousands of comments.

And a storm of questions.

What exactly went wrong?

Insiders suggest there was growing tension between Nabi and the club’s upper management.

While the coach had brought fresh tactics, high energy, and a new level of professionalism to Naturena, not everyone was ready to embrace the change.

“He came in with a vision,” one source close to the club shared.

“But it clashed with the old guard.

The board wanted results fast.

He wanted time to rebuild.

That caused friction.

And now, with the dream over, the backlash is in full swing.

Lucas Radebe, who remains deeply connected to the Chiefs despite his international retirement, clearly feels betrayed — not just for Nabi, but for the future of the club.

“This was our shot,” he said in a voice note leaked shortly after his post.

“We needed someone like Nabi to rebuild.

We keep chasing short-term wins and forget the bigger picture.

This club needs vision, not panic.

His words hit hard because they’re rooted in truth.

Under Nabi, Kaizer Chiefs had shown sparks of promise.

Though results were inconsistent, there was a clear system forming — one that emphasized youth development, tactical discipline, and a modern style of play.

Fans were slowly beginning to believe again.

Now? That faith has been shattered.

The timing couldn’t be worse.

With the new season just weeks away, the club now finds itself without a head coach, no clear successor, and a fanbase in total disarray.

Social media is flooded with anger, confusion, and heartbreak.

“Why are we always starting over?” one fan asked.

“It’s like we’re stuck in a loop of self-destruction.

Others pointed fingers directly at club management.

“Nabi didn’t leave.

He was pushed,” claimed another commenter.

“And now they’ll scramble for a replacement like they always do — late and desperate.

Amid the chaos, Lucas Radebe’s voice is cutting through the noise as a call for accountability.

In a follow-up interview with a local sports podcast, Radebe said, “I love this club with my entire being.

But if we don’t stop making emotional decisions and start building something sustainable, we’ll never be champions again.

We can’t keep sabotaging our own progress.

His words are ringing loud — especially because they come from a man who knows the club better than almost anyone alive.

Radebe, affectionately known as “The Chief” in Leeds and “Rhoo” back home, is not just a former player — he’s a symbol of what Kaizer Chiefs used to stand for: loyalty, legacy, and leadership.

But right now, the club looks anything but stable.

The board has remained largely silent, with only a brief statement thanking Nabi for his “contributions.

” No press conference.

No detailed explanation.

Just corporate vagueness that has only poured fuel on the fire.

As for the players? Many are reportedly shocked and frustrated.

“We were starting to click,” said one anonymous squad member.

“The tactics were working.

The vibe was good.

This decision came out of nowhere.

” Some believe the locker room may now face a morale crisis, especially among younger players who looked to Nabi as a mentor and father figure.

And the fans? They’re demanding answers.

The official Kaizer Chiefs pages are being flooded with hashtags like #NabiDeservedBetter, #BringBackVision, and #ListenToRadebe.

Supporters are even threatening to boycott upcoming matches unless the board releases a full explanation.

Meanwhile, speculation is already flying about who might replace Nabi.

Some names being tossed around include familiar faces — but few bring the same tactical pedigree or international experience.

And that’s exactly what Radebe warned against: “We don’t need another yes-man.

We need someone who challenges the system.

Who rebuilds, not just patches holes.

One thing is clear — this isn’t just about one coach leaving.

It’s about the deeper identity crisis that continues to plague one of Africa’s most legendary clubs.

A cycle of broken promises, failed strategies, and short-term fixes that have left Kaizer Chiefs a shadow of its former glory.

But now, with fans outraged and Lucas Radebe speaking out louder than ever, the board may finally be forced to answer the hard questions.

Was pushing Nabi out a fatal mistake? Will this decision haunt the club for seasons to come? And will Radebe’s bold call for accountability be heard — or ignored like so many others?

Only time will tell.

But one thing’s for sure: Kaizer Chiefs just made one of the riskiest moves in recent memory — and Lucas Radebe is NOT keeping quiet about it.
