๐ Is Kaizer Chiefs About to SACK Coach Nabi Before the Season Even Starts? Mzansi in TOTAL SHOCK! ๐จ๐
In what could be the most unexpected and controversial move in South African football this year, Kaizer Chiefs is reportedly considering cutting ties with Coach Nasreddine Nabi โ before heโs even had the chance to kick off a full season at the helm.

While no official statement has been released, multiple credible sources inside the club and close to its technical team have confirmed that “serious internal disagreements” may push the club to pull the trigger on a premature exit.
Letโs rewind: Nabi, the Tunisian tactician hailed for his success at Yanga SC, was brought in with massive fanfare and expectation.
His reputation for turning mid-level squads into title challengers gave Amakhosi fans renewed hope after a string of forgettable seasons.
The club had been craving structure, vision, and tactical discipline โ all things Nabi promised to deliver.
But just weeks into his reign, things appear to be falling apart.
So what went wrong?
Insiders say the first cracks appeared during contract negotiations, with Nabi allegedly demanding full control over player signings, technical staff, and fitness regimes โ a move that reportedly clashed with the Chiefsโ traditional management structure.

While a deal was reached, sources suggest tension never fully disappeared, and by the start of pre-season training, communication breakdowns had become frequent.
Even worse, itโs believed that some senior players have quietly voiced frustrations over Nabiโs rigid style and โno-nonsenseโ attitude โ a stark contrast from previous coaches who were more player-friendly.
One anonymous player reportedly told a journalist, โHeโs treating us like soldiers, not footballers.
Some guys donโt like it.
โ
And now, the bombshell: According to a leaked internal memo thatโs doing the rounds online (but yet to be verified), high-ranking officials are seriously reviewing Nabiโs position, citing “philosophical incompatibility” and โpoor alignment with club culture.
โ Translation? They might be preparing to sack him before the season starts.

The news has left fans furious and confused.
After years of demanding a coach with backbone and strategy, Kaizer Chiefs finally brought one in โ and now, just months later, they may be preparing to throw it all away.
On social media, hashtags like #SaveNabi and #KaizerChaos are trending, with fans demanding transparency and calling out management for their indecisiveness.
โLet the man work!โ tweeted one supporter.
โWeโve cried for structure.
He brings it.
Now they want to fire him because heโs not a โyes manโ? This is why weโre trophy-less!โ
Others are taking it further, accusing the club of being trapped in a toxic cycle of hiring and firing without long-term vision.
โYou canโt build a team when the coach is walking on eggshells.
Give him time or shut the club down!โ wrote another furious fan.
But itโs not just fans who are talking.
Rival clubs are watching closely too โ with some reportedly preparing to pounce if Nabi becomes available.
A source close to a major PSL side confirmed they would โabsolutely considerโ bringing Nabi on board should Chiefs let him go.
That move would be nothing short of embarrassing for the Naturena camp.
Adding to the drama, some analysts believe the chaos is part of a bigger power struggle between the clubโs football department and upper management.
With rumors of interference, micromanagement, and conflicting visions for player development, Nabi may have found himself in the middle of a war he didnโt sign up for.
But what makes this even more baffling is the timing.

Chiefs havenโt even played a full competitive match under Nabi.
Pre-season is still underway.
Tactics are still being drilled.
Yet the club is reportedly contemplating a reset โ again โ which could cost them millions in severance, destroy fan confidence, and throw the squad into disarray just weeks before kickoff.
So, is Nabi really getting fired?
As of now, itโs all still rumor โ but not baseless.
Sources close to the coach say heโs โfrustratedโ and โready to walk if the disrespect continues.
โ Meanwhile, top-level Chiefs execs are reportedly split: some want to back him, while others want a coach who fits the clubโs โDNAโ โ a vague term many fans are beginning to resent.
The silence from both the club and Nabi is deafening.
No denials.
No reassurances.
Just tension.
For a team desperately chasing silverware and fan redemption, this couldnโt come at a worse time.
If Chiefs sack Nabi now, theyโll not only lose the tactical mind they just recruited โ theyโll confirm what many critics have been saying for years: Kaizer Chiefs has become its own worst enemy.
Whether the boardroom drama ends in an apology, a public explanation, or an explosive dismissal remains to be seen.
But one thing is certain: if Nabi goes, he wonโt be the only one walking away.
Thousands of disillusioned supporters might follow
