KAIZER CHIEFS LOSE FERNANDO DA CRUZ
It was not ideal for Kaizer Chiefs to lose a key assistant coach in August, but that’s football. Is Nasreddine Nabi replacing his departed assistant Fernando Da Cruz. The newest report has revealed a leading replacement.
As reported by Unplayable, Da Cruz has left Amakhosi to join the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) as a Technical Director. The Frenchman left Nasredddine Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs technical team just two months after his arrival in Johannesburg.
“Fernando Da Cruz has left Kaizer Chiefs to join the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and the OCP Group, as confirmed by @MoroccanGrinta. “It’s a new Moroccan project, focusing on developing young players,” the report said.
Meanwhile, Nabi has confirmed the news while also revealing whether Kaizer Chiefs will seek a replacement or not.
“Why not? It’s possible, it’s possible,” said Nabi via FARPost.
“It’s possible because I have too much job. Now, I have only one assistant who has specific work.
CEDRIC KAZE COMING TO KAIZER CHIEFS?
According to Unplayable, Nabi’s former assistant coach at Young Africans, Kaze, is the leading candidate to replace Da Cruz.
“Burundian coach Cedric Kaze is the frontrunner to replace Fernando Da Cruz at Kaizer Chiefs. Kaze previously worked with Nasraddine Nabi at Young Africans,” Tiyani Mabasa reported.
