Some managers hold a special allure. Is Kaizer Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi one of them? It sounds like it.
Nasreddine Nabi is a proven winner
Although Kaizer Chiefs endured a mostly frustrating campaign, they did end their long trophy drought by lifting the Nedbank Cup. To make it sweeter, they beat Orlando Pirates to do so. Nasreddine Nabi’s next challenge will be to turn this side into legitimate title contenders. After all, this is a man who won back-to-back trebles in Tanzania. His trophy record and managerial aura led one reader on The South African to call him ‘The Pep Guardiola of Africa’, because he can also attract players to believe in his projects.
Saleum is tempted by a reunion with Nabi at Kaizer Chiefs
Feisal Salum chipped in with an impressive 19 goals for Azam FC during the 2023-2024 campaign. That followed a glittering spell with Young Africans, where the talented playmaker collected consecutive trebles. A proven winner, Salum has 41 caps and four goals for his nation.
Has the playmaker struggled in 2024-2025?
Zanzibar-born star Salum hasn’t replicated last season’s form for Azam FC this time around. His last goal for the club came back in December 2024, and his side sits third in the Tanzanian Premier League, a massive 16 points adrift of leaders Young Africans.
Do you think Nabi will turn Chiefs into giants of Africa again?
