Kaizer Chiefs to play Nasreddine Nabi’s old team in preseason

Kaizer Chiefs will play Nasreddine Nabi’s old team Young Africans(Yanga) in a preseason friendly match next month.

Amakhosi went down 1-0 to Young Africans in a pre-season friendly in front of a capacity 60 000 crowd last year in a preseason match. The Soweto Giants looked poor in that match under Molefi Ntseki and never improved heading into the season.

Almost a year later, Kaizer Chiefs are set to play Yanga again but this year, they could have their former coach Nabi on the touchline.

“We will have a good pre-season, and we have already received invitations from a number of places, including South Africa. Kaizer Chiefs have invited us,” said Yanga president Hersi Said.

Kaizer Chiefs to announce Nabi as new coach soon?

FARPost revealed that the match between Kaizer Chiefs and Yanga was scheduled for the last weekend. Dates and times or venue have not been finalised. Amakhosi finished a disappointing 10th in the DStv Premiership last season which was their worst finish.
