Some managers just have that magnetic charm—could Nasreddine Nabi, Kaizer Chiefs’ head coach, be one of them? It certainly seems so.
Nabi’s proven track record speaks volumes
Despite a challenging season, Chiefs finally ended their trophy drought by clinching the Nedbank Cup, and they did it by beating their fierce rivals Orlando Pirates. Now, Nabi’s next big task is transforming this squad into serious title contenders. This isn’t just any coach—Nabi has an impressive history, having won back-to-back trebles in Tanzania. His success and leadership have even earned him the nickname “The Pep Guardiola of Africa,” partly because he inspires players to fully buy into his vision.
Feisal Salum tempted by a reunion at Naturena
Feisal Salum made waves last season with 19 goals for Azam FC and was a key figure during his time at Young Africans, where he helped secure consecutive trebles. With 41 international caps and four goals for Tanzania, he’s a proven winner who could thrive under Nabi once again.
But has Salum hit a rough patch?
The Zanzibar-born playmaker hasn’t quite matched his previous season’s form in 2024-2025. His last goal came in December 2024, and Azam currently sits third in the Tanzanian Premier League, trailing leaders Young Africans by a hefty 16 points. Could a move to Kaizer Chiefs reignite his spark?
