Kaizer Chiefs fixtures in full

Kaizer Chiefs have officially parted ways with Nasreddine Nabi, and the timing seems tricky.

The Tunisian’s sudden exit gave Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze the hot seat to share.

Let’s look at how the duo’s tenure will start this demanding month.

DEMANDING MONTH FOR KAIZER CHIEFS COACHES

It’s been a mixed start in the Betway Premiership, with four wins, three draws, and one loss, enough to stay in the chase behind Mamelodi Sundowns, Sekhukhune United, and Orlando Pirates.

But the Carling Knockout exit to Stellenbosch FC in the last 16 left fans very annoyed. Amakhosi now turn their attention to the CAF Confederation Cup, where a two-legged battle against AS Simba could seal their spot in the group stage.

Off the pitch, there’s reason for optimism. New signings Asanele Velebayi and Luke Baartman are now eligible to play after the long transfer dispute with Cape Town Spurs, while Etiosa Ighodaro, Lebohang Maboe, and Siphesihle Ndlovu are all nearing returns from injury.

The depth boost comes at a better time for Youssef and Kaze.
