After parting ways with Kaizer Chiefs, coach Nasreddine Nabi wrote a message to the Kaizer Chiefs family. "To my players, I could not say goodbye and hug you as I would have wished, but know that I'm proud of you and grateful for all the efforts you made during my time at the club.
"To the youngsters; you are the jewels of this club. Believe in yourself, work hard, and learn from every moment. I ask you to dream big regarding your personal careers and to have great ambitions equal to your talent. A very big thank you to the majority of the group who wrote messages and called me. Your words touched me immensely. You now have everything you need to achieve all the goals we set for ourselves, and I know you can do it.
"Thank you to the Chairman, Dr. Motaung, for giving me the opportunity to wear these colours and supporting me. It is indeed an institution that you have built, and I will remain proud for life to have worn the gold and black colours. I also thank the management. To the true supporters; thank you for your loyalty and your faith in this project, your support was the most important one.
"You are the true strength of the club. I promised to you a very competitive team locally and continentally, you are now very close to achieving."
