The Glamour Boys wasted no time in naming a replacement as they decided to go with Nabi’s assistants, Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef, as their managers for the rest of the season.
The Premier Soccer League giants' decision to name Nabi’s assistant coaches as his replacement came with a lot of criticism from their supporters and pundits.
Amakhosi blamed for replacing Nabi with assistants
Sports journalist Uche Anuma, in an exclusive chat with Briefly News, reflected on Kaizer Chiefs’ decision to appoint Nabi’s two assistants as his replacement.
He expected the Soweto giants to also let go of all the technical crew that came with the Tunisian mentor, rather than retaining his former assistants.
“I think Kaizer Chiefs’ decision to go on with Nabi’s former assistant coaches until the end of the season is not a good move at all,” he said.
“I expected them to let go of all the technical crew Nabi brought with him and start on a clean slate.
“I wanted them to start with a clean slate and bring in a new head coach before the season ends.”
Anuma claimed the team would remain the same, as they failed to let go of every coach that worked with Nabi, and now would have been the best time to bring in a new coach to get familiar with the team.

"If they are letting Nabi leave, then they should have also parted ways with all his technical crew and brought in a new coach who would come in with fresh ideas," he added.
"It's still early in the season, which is a perfect time to effect a change in terms of the coaching department and not in the middle of the season.
"If Cedric Kaze and Youssef fail to deliver and they possibly go on a poor run, that means the search for a new coach will kickstart all over again, just like their situation with Cavin Johnson.
"Hopefully, Kaze and Youssef get it right because they have a huge task ahead, especially in the CAF Confederation Cup."
Kaizer Chiefs will return to action after the international break as they will take on Siwelele FC in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday, October 22, 2025.
Nabi bids farewell to Kaizer Chiefs
Briefly News also reported that Nasreddine Nabi has sent a heartfelt farewell message to Kaizer Chiefs after his exit.
The former Yanga SC coach sent a message to Amakhosi supporters, players, staff, and others, but he ignored his two assistants, who were named as his replacement.
