Kaizer Chiefs’ Nasreddine Nabi to Miss Saturday’s Competition Involving Sundowns

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi will not be in the dugout in this weekend's competition involving Amakhosi, Mamelodi Sundowns, and two other Premier Soccer League sides.

The Soweto giants, Sundowns, Golden Arrows and Chippa United, will participate in the Home of the Legends Cup at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday, November 16, 2024.

The first semi-final of the competition will be between the Glamour Boys and Golden Arrows, while the second one will be a mouthwatering clash between Masandawana and the Chilli Boys, who initially withdrew from the competition.

According to a report by iDiskiTimes, Nabi will not be heading to Gqeberha with the Kaizer Chiefs' squad as the Tunisian mentor is recovering after undergoing a minor orthopaedic operation.

The former AS FAR Rabat coach missed out on the chance to get revenge against Sundowns if they eventually meet in the final after losing their last two games against the Brazilians.
