Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi is impressed with the contributions of newly signed players at preparation for the upcoming 2025/26 football campaign get intense.

The Soweto giants has bolstered their squad with six new players for the 2025/26 campaign in an attempt to compete for laurels. Despite ending their trophyless run, the Soweto giants missed out on the top eight in the South African top-flight, prompting swift squad augmentation for the new campaign.

With the arrival of Thabiso Monyane, Paseka Mako, Nkaniso Shinga, Ethan Chislett, Sifheshile Ndlovu, and Flavio Da Silva, the South African outfit is looking forward to an impressive performance next season.

And the 59-year-old Tunisian manager is confident the new additions will elevate the squad to a new level.

“They all need to fully gel with the team. However, they are adapting well and are starting to grasp what I expect from them. Our goal was to sign new players who would take us to a higher level compared to last season.

We don’t want to rush them. Still, I am always ready to give young talents the maximum opportunity. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough to play. That’s my philosophy.” He said.

Kaizer Chiefs have managed just a win in their preseason friendly matches, losing four in the process.
