Coach Nasreddine Nabi Announces Kaizer Chiefs Captain for 2025/26 Season
- Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has confirmed the club's new captain ahead of the 2025-26 season
- The Glamour Boys lost their captain Yusuf Maart to an European club this summer and have now appointed a new one
- The former Young Africans head coach decision to appoint a new captain sparked reactions from Kaizer Chiefs fans on social media
Nasreddine Nabi has announced Kaizer Chiefs' new captain ahead of the forthcoming 2025-26 season following the departure of Yusuf Maart this summer.
Maart led Kaizer Chiefs to the Nedbank Cup triumph last season, scoring the winning goal in the final against his former club Orlando Pirates before deciding to join Austrian Bundesliga side SV Ried earlier this month.
The Glamour Boys invested a lot in transfers this summer and brought in new quality players, but that has not reflected the club's performance since the start of pre-season, especially in their last match against Asante Kotoko in the Toyota Cup.

The Angolan defender joined Amakhosi last summer and was an important player in their quest to end their trophy drought last campaign.
“I believe that you have answered the question that it’s friendly games and we are not going to comment on friendly games,” Nabi told the media via translation of Cedric Kaze.
“Miguel will be the captain for the 2025-26 season.”
The decision by the Tunisian tactician to name Miguel as the new captain sparked different reactions from Kaizer Chiefs fans on social media.

Fans react as Nabi named Miguel as Chiefs new captain
lizwi_nyawose said:
"First of all he wasn't supposed to be appointed as a club Captain he's not discipline on the field he has been cautioned ⚠️ with red/yellow cards several times. Cele is showing signs he can manage to captain the team he get along with players."

"Good pick by the coach. He deserves it."
Gabonewe Setshedi shared:
"This is a big mistake. He would have chosen Brandon Peterson. Miquel is all fingers and thumbs making aggressive tackles. He's hot-tempered, and I anticipate suspensions very often. Brandon has been disciplined, and his game has improved a lot. I am impressed.#Amakhosi4Life"
GsMosia reacted:
"@KaizerChiefs does that mean he is going to start ahead of Msimango just because he is a captain 😭😭."
