Nasreddine Nabi submits bold squad overhaul plan as Kaizer Chiefs prepare for a massive rebuild at Naturena

As the current season winds down, it’s becoming increasingly clear that big changes are brewing at Naturena.

New head coach Nasreddine Nabi isn’t wasting any time settling in.

Instead, he’s taking bold steps to shape Kaizer Chiefs into the kind of team that can return to winning ways—and that starts with some serious squad reshuffling.

Nabi Hands Over His Plans for Who Stays and Who Goes

According to inside reports, Coach Nabi has already handed the club a clear list outlining which players he believes should be released once the season ends.

Sources say this list is part of a broader strategy, which also includes names of specific players he wants the club to pursue in the transfer market.

“He’s already submitted everything—the players he wants to let go, and the ones he wants to bring in,” a source close to the situation reportedly told The Citizen.

It’s clear Nabi isn’t here to tiptoe around decisions—he’s aiming for a rebuild with purpose.

Chiefs Linked with Exciting New Talent from Across Africa

On the radar for next season are some exciting prospects.

Fiston Mayele, the sharp Pyramids FC striker currently playing in Egypt, is one of the key targets.

Another name being thrown around is Feisal Salum, the talented Tanzanian midfielder from Azam FC.

Both players bring serious pedigree and would add creativity and attacking firepower to a Chiefs squad that’s struggled to find consistency.

What Kind of Team Do the Fans Want to See?

While Nabi’s wishlist is making headlines, it also raises questions among fans: Who should really stay, and who needs to go? After a disappointing campaign that has many calling it one of the weakest Chiefs squads in recent memory, supporters are eager to see a proper rebuild that focuses on passion, youth, and experience.

All Eyes on the Offseason Moves

The offseason promises to be a busy one at Naturena, with Coach Nabi already making his mark behind the scenes. Whether or not Chiefs can land the players he wants—and whether they release the ones he doesn’t—will go a long way in determining how competitive the team is next season.

For now, fans will be watching closely to see who arrives, who exits, and how much trust is placed in Nabi’s vision to bring the glory days back to Amakhosi.
