Portuguese coach Pedro Soares Gonçalves has been linked to Kaizer Chiefs as Nasreddine Nabi’s potential replacement.
The Portuguese coach has guided Angola to back-to-back COSAFA Cup triumphs, including a 3-0 win over Bafana Bafana in this year’s final.
“Gonçalves is said to have received approaches from Egyptian giants Al Ahly after they fired former Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro, as well as Amakhosi who are on the verge of going separate ways with coach Nasreddine Nabi,” iDiski Times reported.
Portuguese and Swedish coaches linked to Kaizer Chiefs
On Friday, Amakhosi released a statement indicating that head coach Nasreddine Nabi would not travel with the team for their CAF Confederation match on Saturday. Swedish coach Melke Alan is another coach linked to the Glamour Boys.
In an interview with Soccer Laduma, Alan stated that his coaching philosophy and experience would be a valuable asset for the Chiefs.
“I do believe that a team like Kaizer Chiefs is very unique in terms of what they have achieved in South African football,” he was quoted by the publication.
“That is something that a coach needs to respect and build from. I understand that for a coach to succeed at a big club like that, one has to do the right analysis. If you are a good analyst, you can produce the right results, but if you fail to read situations correctly, then chances are you will make wrong decisions.”
Kaizer Chiefs are in action this weekend against Kabuscorp in the CAF Confederation Cup.
