The Kaizer Chiefs are facing a significant challenge as they prepare for their important match against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Sadly, goalkeeping coach Ilyes Mzoughi will not be on the bench for this critical game.

The team announced this news following the tragic passing of Mzoughi’s mother, Hasna Mansour, who passed away on Thursday.

This loss is a heavy blow for both Mzoughi and the entire Chiefs community.

The Fan Favorite

Ilyes Mzoughi has quickly become a beloved figure among Chiefs supporters.

His warm personality and infectious smile have made a lasting impression, particularly through various videos shared by the club.

Fans appreciate his unique coaching approach and friendly demeanor, which have endeared him to many.

It’s clear that he has established a strong connection with the Chiefs faithful.

Before joining Kaizer Chiefs, Mzoughi built an impressive coaching resume, working extensively in Africa and the Middle East.

His experience includes coaching the Mauritanian national team and holding positions at the Tunisian club Esperance de Tunis, as well as in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Libya.

His collaboration with Khalil Ben Youssef and Majdi Safi at Stade Tunisien during the 2019/2020 season underscores his skill in nurturing goalkeeping talent.

The Club’s Response

In light of this difficult time, the club has expressed its heartfelt condolences.

An official statement conveyed their sorrow: “It is with great sadness that Kaizer Chiefs received news of the tragic passing of goalkeeping coach Ilyes Mzoughi’s mother, Hasna Mansour, on Thursday.”

Mzoughi has been granted compassionate leave to return to his home country for the funeral.

On behalf of the Kaizer Chiefs family, I wish to extend my deep, sincere condolences to Ilyes and his family during this time of bereavement.”

A Bright Spot: Inacio Miguel Shines

On a more positive note, defender Inacio Miguel has been making waves since his transfer from Petro de Luanda.

He made headlines after scoring the opening goal in a thrilling 3-1 win over AmaZulu, earning him the Man of the Match award.

As the Chiefs get ready to face league champions Mamelodi Sundowns, Miguel’s confidence is evident.

“I feel like I played home,” Miguel said after the AmaZulu match.

“Kaizer Chiefs is the biggest club in South Africa. Everywhere we go, we play home, so I always feel home.”

This attitude reflects the unwavering spirit of Kaizer Chiefs and their determination to perform at their best, regardless of the opponent.

Moving Forward

As the team navigates this difficult period, they also look ahead to the challenges and opportunities that lie in their upcoming matches.

The Chiefs have a resilient spirit, and with players like Inacio Miguel stepping up, fans remain hopeful for a successful season.
