Kaizer Chiefs: Johnson Out, Nabi In?

After an acrimonious tenure at Kaizer Chiefs, Cavin Johnson is no longer the club’s coach.

On Monday, 1 July, the Soweto giants posted the following statement on their website:

“Kaizer Chiefs have agreed to an amicable parting of ways with head of academy, Cavin Johnson. Johnson joined Kaizer Chiefs in September 2023 to take up his role at the club. The departure is part of the restructuring process that the club is undertaking.

“We wish to thank Mr Johnson for his contribution to Kaizer Chiefs and wish him well in the future.”

The news of Johnson leaving coincides with the announcement from his rumoured successor, Nasreddine Nabi, who confirmed his departure from Moroccan team, AS FAR Rabat, after losing the Throne Cup final on the same day.

It is expected that Nabi will take over as head coach at Amakhosi in the coming days, as the club looks to regain their winning ways in the upcoming season – something which Johnson failed to do during his time in charge.
