Kaizer Chiefs’ unbeaten run in the Betway Premiership has finally come to an end, and fans are feeling the disappointment.
The club, which had started the season with such optimism, now faces uncertainty heading into its next fixtures.
The team’s confidence took a hit after a 3-1 home defeat to an inspired Sekhukhune side.
With only Babina Noko and Sundowns left unbeaten in the league, Chiefs must regroup quickly.
Their next challenge is away against TS Galaxy on Sunday, 21 September, at 15:00.
Coaching Shake-Up Adds to Uncertainty
Off the pitch, things are just as turbulent.
Reports suggest that head coach Nasreddine Nabi has been relieved of his duties.
The timing is especially tricky, as Chiefs also prepare for the CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
Nabi himself hinted at changes earlier, explaining that the squad is large and the club is exploring ways to give players more game time by potentially moving some of them to other teams.
Qualifications Controversy Forces Change
The decision to part ways with Nabi reportedly stems from an unexpected complication: the Tunisian coach does not hold the necessary coaching qualifications required to manage the team in the upcoming CAF Confederation Cup.
This has left Chiefs scrambling to fill the leadership gap ahead of critical fixtures.
Fans are now left asking: who will take the reins against TS Galaxy and guide the team back on track? With the club facing both tactical and administrative challenges, the next few weeks will be pivotal.
What’s Next for Kaizer Chiefs?
With key departures, a coaching vacancy, and the pressure of upcoming league and continental matches, Chiefs are at a crossroads.
Supporters will be watching closely as the club navigates this challenging period, hoping for a quick recovery and a return to form.
