After nearly a month of uncertainty, Kaizer Chiefs have announced Nasreddine Nabi has left the club.
The club known as Amakhosi released a statement that confirmed an amicable separation with the Tunisian coach.
Nabi’s last match for Kaizer Chiefs was on 16 September, a disastrous 3-1 loss to Sekhukhune United in the Betway Premiership at the FNB Stadium.

While reports claim the relationship broke over Nabi’s alleged invalid coaching license, Amakhosi’s statement does not confirm or deny the reports.
Kaizer Chiefs have said the call was made after “constructive engagements,” both parties agreed to part ways “on an amicable basis.”
In the note, Amakhosi said the decision was taken in a spirit of professionalism and gratitude. “The Club acknowledges and thanks Coach Nabi for his contribution during his tenure and extends best wishes for his continued success.”
Nabi also took a moment to appreciate his time in gold and black, saying he was grateful to the “leadership, staff, players and supporters for their commitment and support” during his stay.
While Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs spell was brief, it will be remembered for its ambition and intent to rebuild.
Meanwhile, the club has appointed Nabi’s assistants Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze to lead Amakhosi until the end of the season.
