Nabi sings praises of new Kaizer Chiefs assistant Kaze and thanks Motaung for re-union in bid to end silverware drought - 'We won too many trophies'

Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi lost his initial right-hand man Fernando Da Cruz to the Moroccan FA.

The club acted swiftly, opting to rope in Burundian Cedric Kaze as a replacement.

The former Burundi tactician was part of coach Nasreddine Nabi's backroom staff at Young Africans from 2021 to 2023.

The duo won six major titles in Tanzania and led Wananchi to the Caf Confederation Cup final in the 2022-23 campaign.

The Tunisian is happy to be reunited with Kaze in Mzansi.

"This is my brother. Cedric Kaze is my second assistant; we worked together at Young Africans," Nabi told the media.

"We won too many trophies with Young Africans. Very good moments and sometimes bad moments. He is a good guy with a big experience and too many skills. 

"I thank Mr Kaizer [Motaung] Jr and Mr Bobby [Motaung] for giving me the opportunity for Kaze to come. I am very happy. He is a very good guy, a gentleman, and a very good coach. I am very happy about that," Nabi concluded. 

Going for almost a decade without silverware is not good for a big team like Kaizer Chiefs with millions of followers.

Having delivered together at Yanga, the Glamour Boys faithful have every reason to be optimistic about the good days ahead.
