• Nasreddine Nabi has received the backing of Bafana Bafana legend Lucas Radebe, who believes in the Tunisian tactician
• Radebe has expressed confidence that Nabi is capable of turning things around when he becomes the head coach of Kaizer Chiefs
• Amakhosi have gone nine years without silverware, and a revamp is expected this summer, starting with the appointment of a new head coach

A major announcement is expected at Kaizer Chiefs in the coming days or weeks, and reports have heavily linked Nasreddine Nabi to the club's coaching job.

Chiefs have been in search for a new manager since Molefi Ntseki was fired last year, while Cavin Johnson handled the squad temporarily for the remainder of the 2023/2024 season.

Several tacticians have been linked with the plum Amakhosi job, but it is believed that FAR Rabat boss, Nabi, will be named the new manager.

Former South Africa and Leeds United captain Lucas Radebe has expressed confidence that Nabi can turn things around at the Naturena.

Radebe has tipped the Tunisian coach to enjoy success at the club and end the Soweto giants' nine-year trophy drought. The former Bafana Bafana star said via Sunday World:

“I think with a coach like Nabi, I heard that he is bringing his technical staff. It will be a huge responsibility to get the club back to where it belongs.

“In such a big club like Chiefs, you need big players. You need quality to compete locally, first with Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

“I think Nabi would be a good acquisition. Surely, we will see a change in Kaizer Chiefs next season.”

Radebe reiterated comments by Kaizer Chiefs legend Stanton Fredericks, who also believes Nabi is the right man for the job.

Fredericks, however, cautioned the club's fans to be patient with the incoming manager, saying results might not be instant.

Benni McCarthy linked with Kaizer Chiefs

Sports Brief earlier reported that Kaizer Chiefs might look the way of Benni McCarthy to solve their coaching conundrum - if the latest happenings at Manchester United are anything to go by.

The South African club has been in the news as they look for a new head coach who could help them reclaim their lost glory.

The Amakhosi last won a major trophy in 2014, firing Molefi Ntseki after just 13 games of the 2023/2024 season.
