Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi continues to dominate headlines amid growing uncertainty over his future at the Soweto giants. Reports suggest that two major African clubs, Young Africans (Yanga SC) of Tanzania and Al Ahly Tripoli of Libya, are showing serious interest in luring the Tunisian tactician away from Naturena.

Chiefs have yet to release an official update regarding Nabi’s status since confirming last month that discussions were underway over an “internal matter”. The coach has been absent from first-team duties since Chiefs’ 3-1 defeat to Sekhukhune United in September, further fuelling speculation about his position at the club.
While Amakhosi’s management has maintained silence, several insiders suggest that Nabi’s exit may be imminent. A reliable source in East Africa told Soccer Laduma that the coach remains in Tanzania and could soon make a decision about his next move.
“His licence is not expired as Chiefs claimed. He is currently in Tanzania and could join either Yanga SC or Al Ahly Tripoli at any time,” said the source.
Yanga’s Struggles Prompt Nabi Links
The timing of this speculation is no coincidence. Yanga SC, the Tanzanian Premier League champions, have endured a difficult start to the new season under Romain Folz. The team has managed just one draw in their last five matches, leaving fans frustrated after years of dominance under Nabi’s previous leadership.
Nabi, who guided Yanga to back-to-back league titles and deep continental runs before joining Chiefs, remains a fan favourite in Dar es Salaam. With Yanga’s inconsistent form, calls for his return have grown louder, and a reunion could be on the horizon if Chiefs part ways with him soon.
Al Ahly Tripoli Also Interested
Meanwhile, Libyan powerhouse Al Ahly Tripoli are also believed to be monitoring Nabi’s situation closely. The club, which has continental ambitions, is reportedly looking for an experienced tactician to steer them through their CAF campaign this season.
Nabi’s experience across African competitions and his tactical discipline make him an appealing choice for both clubs. However, he remains contractually bound to Kaizer Chiefs until a formal agreement is reached regarding his departure.
Chiefs Fans Demand Clarity
Back in our country, frustration continues to build among Kaizer Chiefs supporters, who are eager for transparency on the issue. Chiefs have struggled to maintain form in recent weeks, and uncertainty at the top has only added to their woes.
Social media has been abuzz with speculation, with many fans calling for the club to make a decisive announcement. The longer the silence persists, the more likely rumours of Nabi’s exit will intensify.
All Eyes on Naturena
Until there is official confirmation, Nasreddine Nabi’s future at Kaizer Chiefs remains in limbo. Whether the Tunisian coach decides to reunite with Yanga, embark on a new journey with Al Ahly Tripoli, or stay and rebuild Amakhosi’s faltering season, the next few weeks will be crucial.
For now, Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in a familiar position, surrounded by uncertainty and expectation as their head coach continues to attract continental attention.
