It wasn’t me! Ex-Chiefs coach responds to explicit video that saw him lose his job

Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper’s coach Ilyes Mzoughi recently lost his job at the Botola Pro League team Raja Casablanca.

The tactician had been reunited with Nasreddine Nabi after leaving the Glamour Boys. Mzoughi was fired for allegedly being involved in an explicit video that has been trending on the social media.

However, Mzoughi has refuted the claims, insisting that he is a victim of blackmail and that he is following up on the matter with the respective authorities.

They wanted to extort me

“Four years ago, I was the target of an extortion attempt. Individuals threatened to publish what I maintain is a fabricated video created using Artificial Intelligence [Al] and demanded approximately USD 20,000 in exchange for not releasing it,” the tactician said in a statement.

“I refused to give in to this blackmail or any form of intimidation. Yesterday [Saturday], four years later, that video, which I maintain is fabricated using Artificial Intelligence [AI] – was published in an attempt to damage my reputation, tarnish my image, and harm my professional career. I categorically reject all false allegations associated with this video,” he continued.

I will pursue justice

“I have already initiated legal proceedings and will pursue legal action against everyone involved in attempting to extort me, as well as anyone who published, republished, promoted, or knowingly contributed to spreading this content,” Mzoughi explained.

“I will not give up my rights and will continue to pursue this case until the truth is fully established and justice is served, and I respectfully ask everyone not to spread rumours or share unverified content, and to respect the truth and the legal process.

“I sincerely thank everyone who has stood by me and supported me during this difficult time. I pray that the truth will prevail and that justice will be done,” he concluded.
