Kaizer Chiefs: Big decision made on Nabi?
As another season draws to its conclusion, the big question at Kaizer Chiefs has revolved around whether Nasreddine Nabi will stay or go.
After finishing outside of the top eight in the league, there are strong rumours to suggest that certain factions of the club are in favour of seeing him move on after a tumultuous season to date.
Yet, in the other camp, it seems there are some calls to keep the faith and continue back to Nabi after he at least led the club to Nedbank Cup silverware this season.
With all this in mind, it has been interesting to hear the latest word out of the Glamour Boys camp.
According to Nabi himself, he has remained part of the planning for next season after seemingly receiving the assurance that there will be improvements to the squad.
'We've had an exchange with the management and the Chairman, and we know exactly what needs to be done in terms of players,' said Nabi.
'I will not say how many or which kind of players we need, but the recruitment department is working very hard, everyone knows the needs of the team, and contact has started already.
'When we get what we need, we are sure that the team is going to improve a lot.'
And when speaking during a recent radio interview, Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr. also implied that they weren't going to turn their back on the coach.
'Hehas got another season after this with us now. At the same time, like we do after every season, we sit down and review. We know that the results in the league have been inconsistent. We know we've just been able to achieve a record milestone.
'With everything else, we're moving forward in our planning… (It's time to) galvanise the supporters, galvanise the technical team, the players, the staff for the mission ahead. So, we're just planning for the future.'

Kaizer Chiefs top brass make their move for exciting young defender
Kaizer Chiefs have a good mix of youth and experience in their defensive ranks, but their latest target is one of the hottest properties in South Africa. Ime Okon has broken onto the scene for SuperSport United, quickly becoming a key pillar for Matsatsantsa at age 21. With Rushwin Dortley gradually returning to full fitness after knee surgery, Chiefs are looking to future-proof their back four. RUMOUR: Kaizer Chiefs lose out on R27 million man Recent reports linked Chiefs with a move for versatile 23-year-old Aphiwe Baliti. Now, outstanding central defender Ime Okon is the next name on their wish list. His contract with Matsatsantsa reportedly expires at the end of June 2025. Chiefs have reportedly ditched their interest in Bafana and Esperance winger Elias Mokwana. Instead, their eggs are all in the Oswin Appollis basket.

'Orlando Pirates are emptying the recycling bin now'
We love how fans in South Africa react to football news. The latest player news from Orlando Pirates has drawn mixed reactions. The Sea Robbers have released Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako. Meanwhile, the club have proactively strengthened the full-back areas with a deal wrapped up for Baroka's Tshepho Mashiloane. All you need to know about Tshepho Mashiloane It's been long suggested that both full-back positions are arguably the biggest relative weaknesses in the Orlando Pirates squad. Incoming business is expected in those areas, but first, the Sea Robbers are getting rid of players not in their plans. Thabiso Monyane and Paseka Mako are heading out. One Bucs fan sounds happy that the club are getting rid of surplus players: In their search for a prolific wide man, Chiefs have reportedly reignited their interest in Polokwane and Bafana star Oswin Appollis. The 23-year-old was in action for South Africa in a 0-0 draw against Tanzania. Appollis is also a target for Pirates.
