In a surprising turn of events, Kaizer Chiefs announced the departure of Nasreddine Nabi’s assistant coach, Fernando Da Cruz.
This news comes just a week before the Betway Premiership kicks off, leaving fans and the team in shock.
Heading to Morocco
Da Cruz has decided to leave Amakhosi to take on a new role with the Moroccan Football Federation.
His exit marks a significant change for the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
Despite the sudden move, Da Cruz expressed his gratitude to the club and its supporters.
A Heartfelt Farewell
“I want to thank Kaizer Chiefs, the Chairman, and all the supporters for the warm welcome and affection I received from the moment I arrived in South Africa,” Da Cruz shared in a statement.
His appreciation extended to the players, staff, and everyone involved, ensuring that his time at the club was memorable.
He wished the team nothing but success in the future.
What’s Next for Kaizer Chiefs?
With Da Cruz’s departure, Kaizer Chiefs are left with a gap in their coaching staff.
Da Cruz was one of four assistants that Nabi had recruited upon joining the Soweto giants.
Now, the question remains: will the Tunisian coach bring in a replacement?
There have been suggestions from former coaches to add at least one local coach to the technical team.
A Message from the Club
Kaizer Chiefs expressed their gratitude to Da Cruz for his contributions and commitment during his time with the team.
“As Kaizer Chiefs, we would like to thank coach Fernando for his efforts and dedication.
We fully support his decision and wish him all the best for the future,” the club stated.
Looking Ahead
As Kaizer Chiefs prepare to kick off their season against Marumo Gallants next weekend, all eyes will be on how the team adapts to this sudden change.
Coach Nabi has also hinted at the possibility of signing new players before the transfer window closes. What’s next for Kaizer Chiefs? Only time will tell.
