Thu Sep 12 13:50:58 UTC 2024: ## Kaizer Chiefs Set for Major Squad Overhaul as Nabi Aims for Turnaround

**Johannesburg, South Africa:** Kaizer Chiefs manager Nasreddine Nabi is set to make significant changes to the squad ahead of the new Betway Premiership season, aiming to revitalize the team after their disappointing 10th place finish last year.

Sources close to the club suggest that Nabi is looking to reduce the current 35-player squad to a more manageable 25, with several high-profile players facing the axe. Long-serving goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune is expected to be among those departing, but further surprise departures from Naturena are also anticipated.

The move comes as part of Nabi’s plan to create a “solid squad” that can be easily managed and keep players motivated. The club’s sporting director, Kaizer Motaung Jr., has confirmed that assistant coach Arthur Zwane will play a key role in the process.

Chiefs’ dismal performance last season, their worst in the DStv Premiership history, has prompted the drastic action. The club last won a major trophy in 2015 and are desperate to return to winning ways. The new campaign begins on September 14th with a clash against Marumo Gallants.

The news of the planned squad overhaul comes as Kaizer Chiefs have already strengthened their ranks by signing Angolan defender Miguel Inacio from Petro de Luanda. The club will be hoping that the new additions, combined with the shake-up of the existing squad, will be enough to bring back the winning spirit to Naturena.
