Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates to have new coaches by next Soweto Derby
On borrowed time? With uncertainty over Nasreddine Nabi and Abdeslam Ouaddou, IOL Sport speculates that both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates will be under new coaches before the next Soweto derby in February. Photo: BackpagePix Image: BackpagePix One of the first things many football fans in South Africa do when the fixtures for the new season come out is look when the first Soweto derby will be played. The Soweto derby is the biggest game on the South African calendar, regardless of how Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs are playing. If the two clubs don't meet in the Carling Knockout, their first encounter will unfortunately be played in February of next year — February 28, to be exact. Judging by the events of recent weeks, both clubs could go into the game with new head coaches. Pirates have had a nightmare start to the new campaign. They opened with an MTN8 win over Polokwane City, but things have worsened since. Get your news on the go, click here to join the IOL News WhatsApp channel. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ They lost 1-0 in their league opener against Sekhukhune United, and were beaten 2-1 by Marumo Gallants on Tuesday. Both results have put a massive amount of pressure on Abdeslam Ouaddou, and fans and pundits have already begun to question if he's the right man to lead the club. When Jose Riveiro left at the end of last season, they were in a good place, and were hoping to put together the final pieces that would help them challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the league title. Pirates have lacked identity in recent games, and Ouaddou's team selections have also come under scrutiny. Tshegofatso Mabasa, the club's top goal scorer over the last two seasons, has not been called upon, while the immensely talented Thalente Mbatha has also been excluded from matchday squads. In their game against Gallants, Ouaddou did something that baffled many fans — he started the game with Relebohile Mofokeng on the bench, robbing the team of one of their most potent attackers. Many fans have since voiced their dissatisfaction, and it's only a matter of time before they start calling for him to be shown the door. While Soweto's other club have had a better start to the season, speculation about Nabi's future refuses to go away. Chiefs kicked off their campaign in impressive fashion last weekend when they beat Stellenbosch FC in Athlone. But it was assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef who was on the touchline. On top of that, several reports claim the relationship between Nabi and the club soured after a meeting before the campaign kicked off. It remains to be seen what happens when Nabi returns to South Africa after spending time in Tunisia attending to an urgent family matter. The derby has always been more than just a match – it's a statement of pride and identity and who really rules Soweto. But with both Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs caught in the storm of coaching uncertainty, February's clash could be shaped as much by boardroom decisions as by performances on the pitch. If either side hopes to emerge from that day with more than just bragging rights, the hard decisions will need to be made long before the first whistle blows.

Kaizer Chiefs starting 11 with Asanele Velebayi
Kaizer Chiefs will soon introduce Asanele Velebayi on the field rather than the media. How does the former Cape Town Spurs superstar fit in? To avoid complications, we've taken the same lineup that opened the Betway Premiership with a 2-0 win over Stellenbosch FC. The only change is Velebayi coming in on the right wing for Wandile Duba who is primarily a striker. The 22-year-old winger, who can play on either wing or the attacking midfield role, is likely to compete for minutes on the right and left wings. Good news on four Kaizer Chiefs players 'Asanele Velebayi has officially joined Kaizer Chiefs,' the Soweto giants confirmed.

Good news on four Kaizer Chiefs players
Kaizer Chiefs are heading into their next Betway Premiership match in better shape, with four players who started the season on the sidelines now ready for action. Coach Nasreddine Nabi is yet to return from Tunisia for a family emergency, but assistant coach Cedric Kaze has offered a significant squad boost ahead of the clash with Polokwane City. Speaking at the pre-match press conference, the Burundina mentor confirmed that four players have become available for selection. Second Orlando Pirates player moves overseas First up, former Orlando Pirates defender Paseka Mako has fully recovered from a broken arm and is now cleared by medical staff. The injury forced him out of the pre-season tour, the Toyota Cup, and the opener against Stellenbosch FC. Confirmed: R1.7 million coming into Kaizer Chiefs' bank Then there's Ethan Chisllet. The dynamic midfielder missed that first game, too. His South African passport is sorted, and he's officially registered as a local player. There's more. Pule Mmodi returns from suspension, and Ashley Du Preez, who picked up a minor knock, is fit again. 'The good thing is that we didn't have any injuries from the last game or suspensions,' Kaze told the media. 'We are going to have a couple of players back from different setbacks. Mmodi is back from his suspension, and Ethan is available for selection after his paper has been resolved. Mako, as well, is available for selection after being cleared by the medical staff. I think that we are in a very good space for tomorrow's game [Wednesday night at the FNB Stadium at 19:30].

Image: @safootclassics Kaze added: 'It's our first home game in front of our fans, and we know what we've been lacking from last season, the consistency. This is why tomorrow's game for us is very important. 'We are very focused, everyone, the players, the technical staff, the management. We know the importance of tomorrow's game,' concluded Kaze.
