Kaizer Chiefs as a unit have made a vital decision, in an important position. A source revealed that coach Nasreddine Nabi has ruled Fiacre Ntwari out of his 2025/2026 plans. The Rwandan goalkeeper no longer features in training-ground drills designed for first‑team regulars. Which indicates that Nabi’s search for a new shot‑stopper has reached an advanced stage.
Foreign slot threatens Ntwari’s Chiefs future
Ntwari occupies one of Kaizer Chiefs’ precious foreign‑player berths, and Nabi has already earmarked that slot for a fresh signing. Consequently, Bruce Bvuma and Brandon Petersen now sit comfortably ahead of the 25‑year‑old on the depth chart.
“Nothing has changed in his situation to tell you the truth. It doesn’t seem like the coach sees him in his plans at the moment.”
The insider’s words underline how little room remains for a dramatic turnaround.
Behind‑scenes politics deepen the rift
Club sources hint that technical‑team dynamics, not performances alone, continue to hamper Ntwari’s prospects.
“From what we understand, it’s not only about performances, there may also be some behind‑the‑scenes dynamics with the technical team that aren’t helping his situation.”
With dressing‑room alliances shifting, the goalkeeper finds himself without key backing in crucial meetings.
A season to forget
Since joining from TS Galaxy last year, Ntwari has conceded 11 goals in just seven appearances. Chiefs fans have not seen him in action for more than six months. And the upcoming pre‑season offers little hope of redemption.
“Nothing has changed.”
That blunt verdict echoes through Naturena. Signalling that Kaizer Chiefs will likely part ways with Fiacre Ntwari before the new campaign kicks off.
Should Kaizer Chiefs give Ntwari another chance or let him go?
