Nasreddine Nabi (Arabic: نصر الدين نابي; born 9 August 1965) is a Tunisian professional football manager and former player who was most recently a manager of South African club Kaizer Chiefs.[1][2]
Managerial career
[edit]During the 2021–22 season, he signed a contract with the Tanzanian club Young Africans and led them to win the national championship twice and the Tanzania Cup, and to reach the first African final of their history, during the 2022–23 CAF Confederation Cup, which they lost against USM Alger.[citation needed]
During the 2023–24 season, the Moroccan AS FAR recruited him for two seasons. In July 2024, he became the head coach of South African side Kaizer Chiefs.[3]
Chiefs, one of South Africa's largest and historically most successful clubs, struggled under Nabi, finishing ninth in the 2024–25 Premiership, but Nabi led Chiefs to their first trophy in a decade when they won the 2024–25 Nedbank Cup.[4]
Nabi missed the start of his second season at Chiefs, returning to Tunisia after his wife suffered severe injuries in an accident. However, prior to the clubs opening tie in the 2025–26 CAF Confederation Cup, the club claimed that Nabi was ineligibile to sit on the bench due to his failure to do the required refresher coaching courses. Nabi denied this, but the relationship broke down. Nabi returned to Tunisia while a standoff ensued, with the contract eventually terminated in October 2025.[5]
