Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach reveals the exact time of Nasreddine Nabi's return

Despite opening their season under unexpected circumstances, Kaizer Chiefs have emerged with a perfect record in head coach Nasreddine Nabi's absence. Assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef has now offered insight into when the Tunisian mentor is expected to resume his duties following a family emergency.

The team's campaign commenced with a convincing 2-0 victory against Stellenbosch FC, secured just hours after Nabi's sudden departure from the country. This winning form continued with two hard-fought 1-0 successes against both Polokwane City FC and Richards Bay FC, completing an ideal start to their league campaign.

These results have propelled the team to second position in the early standings with nine points, trailing only Sekhukhune United on goal difference. The squad's resilient performances during this period have highlighted their defensive solidity and capacity to deliver results under interim management.

The Soweto giants are set to host their opponents at FNB Stadium on August 27th, where they will be looking to secure another victory and extend their impressive run of results.

"Coach Nabi will rejoin the squad this week to begin preparations for the match against Mamelodi Sundowns," Ben Youssef stated.
