Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef is confident that the club’s head coach, Nasreddine Nabi, will remain at the club.

Despite winning the Nedbank Cup, the Tunisian coach’s job at Amakhosi remains uncertain, according to Sunday Times. Speaking on SABC Radio 2000, Ben Youssef said the reports on Nabi’s potential exit came as a surprise.

“To be honest with you, our contracts are two years and with a one-year extension, he said.

Kaizer Chiefs coach’s future uncertain

“Like you, we saw [the reports] on social media. To be honest with you, yesterday, I received a lot of calls asking about that.

“I don’t know where it’s coming from. But I think the only one who can answer this question is Mr Kaizer [Motaung], the chairman,” he added.

Ben Youssef has worked with Nabi for three years and described his close relationship with the Kaizer Chiefs coach.

“To be honest with you, with coach Nabi now, it’s our third season working together. We are a family, not a coach and assistant coach,” he added.

“He gives us a lot of responsibilities to do in the team, with the training and the game. There is a lot of confidence between us. He trusts us and he believes in us.

“He knows what we do for the team. So the relationship in the technical bench is like family because we know each other. It’s not the first season that we have worked together,” said the Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach.

Chiefs still have two matches to play in the Betway Premiership as they push fora top 8 finish.
