Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has seen two of his new players on the match grass. What did he make of their cameos?
NASREDDINE NABI ON THABO CELE AND GLODY LILEPO
Despite a late 1-0 defeat to bitter rivals, coach Nabi was satisfied with the duos’ debut appearances for Amakhosi against Orlando Pirates. “I believe that, for the time they were on the field, they showed some good quality,” Nabi told journalists, as quoted by FARPost. “But you have to understand that they only trained for four days after long trips from Europe. They were not training regularly before they came, but in the few minutes that they played, you can see there is qualify in them.
“We are happy with the players that came on. We take this opportunity to thank the management and the board for those signings,” concluded the Kaizer Chiefs mentor.
AMAKHOSI MESSAGE TO MOROCCO
In the meantime, the Soweto giants’ Director of Marketing, Jessica Motaung, has sent a message of gratitude to Morocco after last week’s AFCON 2025 draw.
“Kaizer Chiefs Football Club would like to extend warmest congratulations to the Kingdom of Morocco on being awarded the rights to host the headquarters of the African Club Association (ACA),” the club said. “The Royal Moroccan Football Association signed a memorandum of understanding with ACA president Hersi Said, aiming to host the headquarters of the association in the Kingdom.
“The announcement was made in Morocco, coinciding with the Africa Cup of Nations draw. The establishment of the ACA headquarters in Morocco will provide a solid foundation for the implementation of the organisation’s work.
The Kaizer Chiefs Marketing head added: “We welcome the decision to establish the ACA headquarters in Morocco. This move will undoubtedly strengthen the ACA’s presence on the continent and provide a hub for African club football development.
“We believe that hosting the ACA headquarters in Morocco is the right call, especially with the country gearing up to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup. This partnership will undoubtedly benefit African club football and provide a platform for the growth of the game on the continent,” concluded Motaung.
