Kaizer Chiefs Undergo Season of Change with Nasreddine Nabi as Coach in 2024/25 Season

The 2024/25 season has been an eventful journey for Kaizer Chiefs under the management of Nasreddine Nabi.

The Tunisian coach’s introduction to the PSL has been tough, but he’s shown flashes of his tactical genius.

Nabi has managed to bring out the best in some of the younger players, including Wandile Duba and Mduduzi Shabalala, a sign that his work with the team might be slowly paying off.

Nabi’s Future: A Possible Move to the Tunisian National Team

There’s been some buzz around Nabi’s future, with reports suggesting that the Tunisian national team has shortlisted him for their head coaching role.

While this is a significant opportunity, the current manager of RS Berkane, Mouin Chaabani, seems to be the favorite to take over the national team.

As things stand, Nabi is expected to stay at Kaizer Chiefs for the time being, where he continues to build his squad.

Kaizer Chiefs’ Transfer Plans: Eyeing Mamelodi Sundowns’ Themba Zwane

Looking ahead, Kaizer Chiefs have big plans for the upcoming offseason window, having already made strong moves in the previous summer by signing players like Tashreeq Morris, Thabo Cele, and Glody Lilepo.

One name reportedly on their radar for the next window is Themba Zwane, the Mamelodi Sundowns star who will become a free agent at the end of the current season.

The Tradition of Signing Sundowns Players

It seems Kaizer Chiefs are once again eyeing a player from Sundowns, following a recent tradition of signing out-of-contract stars from Chloorkop.

While Chiefs didn’t exactly plan it, they were quick to snap up Gaston Sirino after his contract ended in June 2024.

With Zwane’s contract winding down, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Chiefs make a move for the 35-year-old midfielder, especially considering Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos still holds Zwane in high regard.

Zwane Following in the Footsteps of Other Sundowns Players at Chiefs

Should Chiefs successfully sign Zwane, he would join a list of former Sundowns players who made the move to Naturena, including Josta Dladla, Katlego Mphela, Leonardo Castro, Khama Billiat, Ramahlwe Mphahlele, and Sirino.

With the club’s tradition of signing players on a free transfer from their rivals, Chiefs are likely to be interested in securing Zwane’s services for the upcoming season.
