Kaizer Chiefs to announce Cedric Kaze?
It was not ideal for Kaizer Chiefs to lose a key assistant coach in August, but that’s football. Is Nasreddine Nabi replacing his departed assistant Fernando Da Cruz. The newest report has revealed a leading replacement.
KAIZER CHIEFS LOSE FERNANDO DA CRUZ
As reported by Unplayable, Da Cruz has left Amakhosi to join the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) as a Technical Director. The Frenchman left Nasredddine Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs technical team just two months after his arrival in Johannesburg.
“Fernando Da Cruz has left Kaizer Chiefs to join the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) and the OCP Group, as confirmed by @MoroccanGrinta. “It’s a new Moroccan project, focusing on developing young players,” the report said.
Meanwhile, Nabi has confirmed the news while also revealing whether Kaizer Chiefs will seek a replacement or not.
“Why not? It’s possible, it’s possible,” said Nabi via FARPost.
“It’s possible because I have too much job. Now, I have only one assistant who has specific work.
“If Mr Cruz is in Morocco, I think he’s there definitely because we received a letter from Morocco. But we will have some little time to observe the situation,” the Kaizer Chiefs head coach concluded.

CEDRIC KAZE COMING TO KAIZER CHIEFS?
According to Unplayable, Nabi’s former assistant coach at Young Africans, Kaze, is the leading candidate to replace Da Cruz.
“Burundian coach Cedric Kaze is the frontrunner to replace Fernando Da Cruz at Kaizer Chiefs. Kaze previously worked with Nasraddine Nabi at Young Africans,” Tiyani Mabasa reported.
GEORGE MALULEKA LOOKING FINDS NEW TEAM
Remember George Maluleka‘s football at SuperSport United, Ajax Cape Town, Kaizer Chiefs, and briefly at Mamelodi Sundowns? The Tembisa-born midfielder is still active.
Following his exit from AmaZulu in June, the 35-year-old is joining Mpumalanga’s Kruger United in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
“Former AmaZulu midfielder George Maluleka is set to join Kruger United,” iDiski Times reported.
“Maluleka, 35, has been without a club since the expiry of his contract with Usuthu and has now agreed terms with the newly promoted Motsepe Foundation Championship side.
“He’s set to sign a one-year deal with an option to extend, as he looks to add valuable experience to the squad that’s currently in ninth place after their first three games,” the report added.
