If word going around is anything to be believed, Morrocan club FAR Rabat head coach Nasreddine Nabi is on the verge of being announced as the new Kaizer Chiefs coach.
According to former Free State Stars coach Luc Eymael, the Tunisian is the favorite to land the Amakhosi job.
"Kaizer Chiefs 95% want Nabi, and if he goes there now [while the league is still on], he will certainly lose out on the league title in Morocco, and that will be unfortunate for him because he is a good friend of mine," Eymael says, in an interview with this publication.

"He's been number one in the league most of the time. At one time, he was seven points in front of Raja [Casablanca] , and now Raja overtook them, with only one game remaining.
"And now Nabi wants to come to Kaizer Chiefs because I know they met. I cannot say anything about Alexandre Santos, I just saw him coach his team in Angola.
"So many years without winning a trophy, it's a difficult thing for an institution like Kaizer Chiefs.
"South Africa has been a walk in the park for [Mamelodi] Sundowns, which is not a good thing for the league.
"Nabi made his reputation at Yanga. During my time at Yanga, the team was not so strong as the one Nabi put together.
"Only God knows if he will be able to bring back the glory days to Kaizer Chiefs, therefore I cannot say if he is strong enough or not strong enough.
"The league in Morocco is a bit difficult, and he's been on top for most of the season, but sometimes things for coaches can work perfectly in another team, and not so well in another team. I wish [for] him to succeed.
"If he can coach a team like Yanga who plays in front of a full Stadium every week, I don't see why he shouldn't succeed at Kaizer Chiefs.

"In South Africa, there's not that much pressure, except when you play against Sundowns, or in the Soweto Derby. Usually, there are not a lot of fans in the stadium.
"Pressure is to play in front of 60,000 people every game."
