Kaizer Chiefs Stand-In Coach Sets Record Straight on Nasreddine Nabi ‘Betrayal’ Talk

Kaizer Chiefs stand-in coach Cedric Kaze has addressed the rumour about Nasreddine Nabi feeling betrayed as he and others are leading the Soweto giants in his absence.

The Tunisian gaffer has been suspended by the Premier Soccer League giants as he nears an expected departure early in his second season, despite leading the club and his technical team to end their ten years trophy drought with a Nedbank Cup victory last season by beating city rivals, Orlando Pirates in the final.

Kaze, who previously worked alongside Nabi at Young Africans, was asked about how his colleague feels about the current situation at Kaizer Chiefs.

“I’ve known coach Nabi for several years, and having worked closely with him, we both understand the nature of this profession,” Kaze explained.

“Although he’s not here right now, I’m confident he would be proud to see us continue the work he started and push the club towards where it deserves to be. Coach Khalil and I are fully focused on leading the team in tomorrow’s match, and every decision we make is aimed at keeping us in the best possible position to deliver a strong performance.”
