Kaizer ChiefsPitso Mosimane To Replace Nasreddine Nabi? Masilela Commented | Nabi Shocks Everyone
Kaizer Chiefs are once again the subject of heated debate as speculation around the future of head coach Nasreddine Nabi intensifies.
With the club’s performance underwhelming in recent months, rumors have started swirling about a dramatic coaching change that could see South African coaching icon Pitso Mosimane take over the reins.
Adding to the drama, former Chiefs defender Tsepo Masilela has publicly shared his thoughts on the situation, while reports suggest that Nabi himself has surprised many within the club with his latest reaction.
The noise around Kaizer Chiefs and their coaching setup has grown louder following a series of disappointing results that have left fans questioning the direction of the team.
Although Nasreddine Nabi arrived with much promise and a respectable coaching resume, the club has yet to display the consistency and dominance that fans have been craving.
It has now reached a point where insiders are suggesting that the club may be considering a change, and the name most loudly linked with the position is none other than Pitso Mosimane.
Pitso Mosimane is no stranger to South African football.
His legacy at Mamelodi Sundowns, which includes multiple league titles and a CAF Champions League trophy, solidified his status as one of the most successful coaches on the continent.
His more recent stints at Al Ahly in Egypt and Al Wahda in the UAE have further cemented his international reputation.
Now, with Mosimane currently unattached, the timing seems perfect for a return to the PSL—perhaps with the Glamour Boys.
Whispers from within Naturena suggest that the Chiefs hierarchy is carefully weighing its options.
Bringing in Pitso Mosimane would not only be a tactical decision but also a strategic move to restore pride and dominance to a club that has been starved of silverware for far too long.
However, such a decision would also come with pressure.
Expectations would skyrocket, and the spotlight would burn even brighter.
Meanwhile, Nasreddine Nabi remains in the hot seat, and according to close sources, he is well aware of the murmurs around his job security.
In a twist that few saw coming, Nabi reportedly held a closed-door meeting with senior players and staff in which he addressed the rumors head-on.
Rather than express anger or frustration, Nabi is said to have remained calm, confident, and determined to prove his critics wrong.
According to some insiders, he told the players, “Let them talk—I believe in what we’re building.
This reaction has surprised many within the Chiefs camp, especially considering the intense media pressure.
It appears that rather than shrinking under the speculation, Nabi is choosing to double down on his vision for the team.
Still, whether the club’s top brass shares his long-term view is yet to be seen.
Adding fuel to the fire, Tsepo Masilela, who made over 100 appearances for the club and remains a respected voice in South African football, weighed in on the situation during a recent interview.
Masilela didn’t shy away from addressing the rumors and acknowledged the gravity of what a coaching change could mean for the club.
“When you talk about Pitso, you’re talking about a serial winner,” Masilela said.
“He knows what it takes to build a winning team and sustain it.
If Kaizer Chiefs want to return to the top, they need to make bold decisions.
But at the same time, changing coaches too often is not always the answer.
Masilela went on to emphasize the importance of giving coaches time.
“Look, I understand the frustration.
The fans are desperate for trophies.
But building something special doesn’t happen overnight.
Whether it’s Nabi or Pitso, the club must commit to a long-term plan.
That’s the only way to truly rebuild.
Fans, meanwhile, are divided.
Social media has exploded with opinions, with some calling for Nabi’s immediate exit and others urging the club to stay patient and avoid short-term reactions.
The idea of Mosimane in a Kaizer Chiefs tracksuit is enough to excite even the most cynical supporters, but it also comes with questions.
Would Pitso’s high demands clash with the club’s current setup?
Would he have full control over transfers and technical decisions?
And would Chiefs be willing to meet his likely hefty salary expectations?
For now, all eyes are on Naturena.
With the league season entering a critical phase and every point mattering in the race for continental qualification, the pressure is mounting.
If results do not improve quickly, the board may be forced to act sooner rather than later.
There’s also the timing to consider.
With the transfer window still within reach, bringing in a new coach now could allow them to shape the squad to their liking.
On the other hand, disrupting the current momentum—even if it’s shaky—might do more harm than good.
For Pitso Mosimane, the decision to return to the PSL—especially to a rival of his former club Mamelodi Sundowns—would be a powerful statement.
It would signal not just a homecoming but a mission to restore greatness to another giant of South African football.
In the end, whether Nasreddine Nabi stays or Pitso Mosimane arrives, Kaizer Chiefs find themselves at a critical crossroads.
The next few weeks could define the club’s trajectory for years to come.
One thing is certain: the drama is far from over, and fans should buckle up for what promises to be a turbulent ride ahead.
