Kaizer Chiefs’ Cedric Kaze reacts to being left out of Coach Nabi’s farewell

Kaizer Chiefs assistant coach Cedric Kaze has broken his silence following his omission from outgoing head coach Nasreddine Nabi’s farewell message on Instagram. Kaze, who worked alongside Nabi for three seasons, maintained a calm and professional tone, choosing not to express any resentment over the snub.

“I don’t have any comment. I worked with Coach Nabi for three seasons. I wish him very well, I told him that, and I hope that he’s gonna find something that suits him in the near future. I wish him all the best,” Kaze told reporters.

The statement comes after social media users noticed that Nabi, in his farewell post, thanked several members of the Kaizer Chiefs technical team but made no mention of Kaze — sparking speculation about possible tension between the two coaches.

Sources within the club, however, suggest that the omission might not have been intentional, citing that Nabi and Kaze maintained a largely respectful working relationship during their time together.Kaze, known for his tactical insight and calm demeanour, has been part of Chiefs’ bench through several coaching transitions. His measured response has drawn praise from fans, who commended him for showing professionalism amid potential controversy.

Meanwhile, the club continues its search for stability after another challenging season. Nabi’s departure has left Kaizer Chiefs at a crossroads, with supporters demanding clarity on the team’s direction and leadership heading into the next campaign.

Whether Kaze remains part of the new technical setup will depend on the incoming coach’s decisions — a development closely watched by the Amakhosi faithful.
