In a surprising turn of events, Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi has found himself outside the walls of South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs amidst a peculiar crisis concerning his coaching license.
While he was preparing to lead a training session, he was abruptly informed that he was unqualified to sit on the bench for the Confederation Cup due to the absence of a “CAF” license. However, Nabi quickly responded, asserting that he possessed the necessary license and pointedly questioned: “If I didn’t have the license, how did I lead Young Africans to the Confederation Cup final and sit on the bench for Royal Army in the Champions League?”
Despite the clarity of his arguments, the Chiefs’ management refused to be persuaded and announced the opening of an internal investigation that concluded with a mutual separation decision amidst charged emotions and a complete breakdown of trust between the two parties.
Nabi remains in South Africa, waiting for his lawyer’s arrival before leaving the country, as there are growing discussions that this crisis might escalate into a legal dispute that could tarnish the image of the South African club more than it harms the coach himself.
