Podcast Host Sol Phenduka Sparks Debate Over Kaizer Chiefs’ Coaching Future

Popular Podcast and Chill host Sol Phenduka made his feelings clear about Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi by backing a tweet linking the club with Pitso Mosimane.

While the decision is yet to be made, it has come as a surprise after Nabi ended the club’s decade-long trophy drought after beating Orlando Pirates 2-1 on Saturday, 10 May 2025.

Following their victory over Pirates, Phenduka called Chiefs the biggest club in South Africa as he joined thousands of Amakhosi faithful by celebrating the hard-earned win.

Fans disagree with Phenduka

Local netizens reacted on social media to disagree with Phenduka, saying the podcaster was wrong to back Mosimane, while others said Nabi will stay.

Grootman_100 asked a question:

“Is it true, Sol?”

15TeeJay is negative:·

“This dream won’t come true, unfortunately.”

Tuse11 backs Phenduka’s choice:

“Way to go @kaizerm_jr if we are to stop the Sundowns PSL onslaught by getting the man who started it.”

Rabelisanii said Pitso will not be a good choice:

“Pitso will not survive in Kaizer. This man is short-tempered. Chiefs need people with a stone heart.”

Lesedi30lg said Phenduka must do some research:

“Huh, you're also a victim of fake news, Sol.”

Jojo_Ntsoane said Mosimane will never coach Chiefs:

“That is the only team he won't coach. Pitso hates Kaizer Chiefs and is scared to play against Sundowns. I don't even think he will take that job. Pitso won't take any PSL job soon because of Mamelodi Sundowns. Let that sink in.”

T_asmith said Nabi is going nowhere:

“Motaung Junior said Nabi is continuing.”

DeekayMolaba sent luck:

“Good luck to you guys. I don't want him anywhere near the mighty Buccaneers!! We still wanna enjoy watch our team play good football.”

LungaBudu1 said there are better options:

“Even if this was true, there's nothing to celebrate because Pitso comes with his technical team and gonna demand top players like Nabi, management must stop being stingy.”

G_Aphane said Mosimane will be a bad choice:

“That’s a downgrade.”
