Coaches Who Can Replace Nabi at Kaizer Chiefs Amid Talks About Doubts Over His Future

• Kaizer Chiefs are said to be working on parting ways with Nasreddine Nabi after ending their wait for a title for the past ten years
• The Tunisian coach joined the Glamour Boys last summer but had an underwhelming performance for most part of the season before ending on a good note with Nedbank Cup win
• A sports analyst has listed some of the coaches Kaizer Chiefs should look out for if they end of deciding to let go of Nabi

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly planning to part ways with Nasreddine Nabi despite leading them to victory in the Nedbank Cup over the weekend.

The Tunisian coach guided the Glamour Boys to a 2-1 win over Orlando Pirates in the competition's final at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

Coaches Who Can Replace Nabi at Kaizer Chiefs

Sports analyst Uche Anuma, in an exclusive chat with Briefly News, spoke about reports claiming Kaizer Chiefs are working on letting Nabi go despite his recent Nedbank Cup success.

He analysed and explained the type of manager Amakhosi should appoint if they decide to part ways with the Tunisian tactician.

"Though I’m not in favour of Kaizer Chiefs parting ways with Nasreddine Nabi, if they are seriously considering that decision as reports suggest, then they must make the right call by appointing a perfect replacement," he said.

"They need a coach who can manage the team through the heartbreak of losing the coach who just delivered the Nedbank Cup. It must also be a manager with a good pedigree—perhaps even higher than Nabi—to show the players and fans that the club is planning big for the future and is not satisfied with merely short-term success."

Anuma went on to name two coaches who could slot in perfectly at Kaizer Chiefs if the club decides to let go of Nabi this summer.

"I know Pitso Mosimane has been linked with several jobs since leaving Iranian side Esteghlal FC, but we cannot overemphasis the brilliance of the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach," he added.

"He is a proven winner and obviously has a higher pedigree compared to Nabi. With his vast experience in the Premier Soccer League and success outside South Africa, he would be the perfect replacement for the Tunisian mentor."

"Another coach to consider is Raul Caneda. The Spanish tactician is known for his modern football philosophies and his structured, attacking style of play, similar to Pep Guardiola's."

He also talked about the possibility of Kaizer Chiefs going for Rulani Mokwena, who is set to leave Wydad Athletic Club. He is against the Glamour Boys hiring a coach like Mokwena, claiming he believes he's suited for teams like Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns.

"Personally, I wouldn’t recommend Rulani Mokwena for Chiefs. I think he’s better suited for a team like Orlando Pirates or Mamelodi Sundowns."

Why Kaizer Chiefs shouldn't sack Nabi

Briefly News earlier reported on how Kaizer Chiefs were advised not to part ways with Nabi amid reports about doubts over the Tunisian manager's future at the club.

Amakhosi board have been urged to give the former AS FAR Rabat gaffer time to see through the transition process.
