BREAKING NEWS : Amid squad overhaul, the chiefs are scheduled to start preseason play.

The dawn of a new chapter at Kaizer Chiefs is well underway as newly appointed head coach Nasreddine Nabi prepares to lead the club into pre-season training. After a turbulent 2024/25 campaign, the club is undergoing a major squad overhaul aimed at restoring its status as a dominant force in South African football.

Nabi, who was officially unveiled earlier this month, has wasted no time in implementing his philosophy and demanding higher standards both on and off the pitch. With pre-season set to kick off in the coming days, the focus is on conditioning, tactical drills, and integrating new signings into the setup.

Several senior players are expected to depart as part of a broader rebuild, with Chiefs already linked to multiple targets across the PSL and North African markets. The likes of Mduduzi Mdantsane, Njabulo Ngcobo, and Siyethemba Sithebe are reportedly on the exit list, while fresh blood is expected to arrive in key areas like central midfield, defence, and attack.

Insiders suggest that Nabi is keen on building a technically sound, high-pressing side with a mix of youth and experience — a far cry from the inconsistencies that plagued the Amakhosi in recent seasons.

Fans will be eagerly watching how the squad shapes up during the pre-season camp, with friendly matches planned ahead of the new DStv Premiership season. The coming weeks promise to set the tone for what many hope will be a long-awaited revival at Naturena.
