Earlier this month, Kaizer Chiefs announced their new coach, Nasreddine Nabi, who has been dubbed ‘the entertainer.’ His appointment was part of the club’s overhaul, which has seen several big names, including Khama Billiat and Keagan Dolly, leave the club.
However, Kaizer Chiefs’ new coach tagged along some of the best coaches, leaving many convinced that the Soweto giants might end their trophy drought.
KHALIL BEN YOUSSEF’S EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS STUN MZANSI
The Tunisian tactician, who has won big with African giants Young Africans and FAR Rabat, is assisted by Khalil Ben Youssef, who is topping trends after his educational qualifications were revealed.
Khalil Ben Youssef is a familiar figure in Nabi’s technical team. He has been with the Tunissian tactician at Moroccan outfit AS Far and Tanzanian giants Young Africans. While at Young Africans, he worked as an analyst and assistant at AS Far.
Apart from those two, he has also worked as an assistant coach or video analyst with several African clubs. Some of the clubs include Al Adalah in Saudi Arabia, Stade Tunisien, and Club Africain in Tunisia.
Surprisingly, Nabi’s right hand holds an engineering degree. Khalil Ben Youssef is a biological engineering engineer. Biological engineering is the application of biology and engineering tools to create useable, tangible, economically viable products.
Biological engineers earn a base salary of R200 000 yearly. However, salaries tend to differ due to several factors, including years of experience and organisations.
EXPERIENCED COACHING STAFF
However, Ilyes Mzoughi is also part of Nabi’s coaching staff. He is a celebrated goalkeeper coach who has worked with several clubs across Africa, the Middle East, and the Mauritania national team.
Nabi’s coaching team also includes Majdi Safi, a highly experienced strength and conditioning coach who has worked with top players in Africa at Raja Athletic Club and Wydad Athletic Club.
His coaching staff includes Ayman Makroud, Kaizer Chiefs’ first-team performance analyst for AS Far and the Morocco national team. Makroud has analysed the Moroccan national team’s top matches.
The main man, Nasreddine Nabi, boasts of experience. He has had stints with the Sudanese side Al Hilal, Yanga, and now AS Far. The Tunisian is also known to be a man on the move who acquires success in every club he goes to.
In June 2023, he won back-to-back domestic trebles in Tanzania with Young Africans SC. His preferred formation is the flexible 4-2-3-1, which provides defensive stability and offensive firepower that balances the team well.
