Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi is set to return to the club in the coming days after briefly leaving the team to attend a family emergency.
In his absence, his assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef has led Amakhosi to three consecutive wins. After three matches in the Betway Premiership, Chiefs occupy second on the log and are only behind leaders Sekhukhune United.
Youssef revealed on Tuesday that Nabi was expected to return to South Africa in the coming days after spending time with his wife, who was involved in a serious accident.
“Coach Nabi will be with us this week to prepare for the game against Sundowns,” he said.
