Pedro Goncalves: Portuguese Coach Linked With Kaizer Chiefs Job Amid Nabi’s Exit

• Kaizer Chiefs have been linked with a Portuguese coach as Nasreddine Nabi's potential exit from the club intensifies
• Nabi and Amakhosi's relationship is about to end after a few months, and several coaches are in the race to replace the Tunisian tactician at the club
• The Soweto giants fans shared their thoughts on their team being linked with another European coach on social media

Kaizer Chiefs' coaching job is reportedly up for grabs after Nasreddine Nabi decided to leave the Premier Soccer League giants a day after losing his first game of the season.

The Tunisian tactician didn't start the season with the Glamour Boys as he travelled back home to attend to a family emergency and returned during Amakhosi's clash with Mamelodi Sundowns.

Kaizer Chiefs released an official statement to confirm they are in talks with Nabi over the coaching role at the club.

Portuguese coach linked with Chiefs job

Portuguese tactician Pedro Soares Goncalves has emerged as a strong contender for the vacant Kaizer Chiefs head coach position, according to reports from Cabine Desportiva in Portugal.

The 49-year-old manager recently parted ways with the Angolan national team, ending an eight-year spell that saw him enjoy considerable success with the Palancas Negras.

Following his departure from the Angolan national team, Goncalves has reportedly attracted interest from Egyptian heavyweights Al Ahly, who recently parted ways with ex-Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro, as well as Kaizer Chiefs, who are edging closer to a split with Nabi.

Goncalves has a good coaching CV as he is a double COSAFA Cup champion with Angola, and his last one came when his team faced South Africa in the final, and they thrashed Bafana Bafana B side 3-0 in the final.

The report linking the Portuguese tactician to Kaizer Chiefs was met with different opinions from fans on social media.
