Latest Kaizer Chiefs news in the last 24 hours, including the latest on Glody Lilepo, goalkeeper coach Ilyes Mzoughi reunites with Nasreddine Nabi and more.

Latest on Lilepo

With reports linking Kaizer Chiefs winger Glody Lilepo with a move away from Naturena, news reaching the Siya crew is that the Glamour Boys could offer the Congolese winger a new deal.

The past season, Lilepo featured in 27 Betway Premiership games and scored nine goals while providing four assist along the way.

An insider close to the team has revealed to this Soccer Laduma that although Lilepo’s current contract only expires in June 2027, the club is rumoured to be moving fast to keep him at the club for a longer period and fight off the reported interest in their attacker.

“As I told you, Lilepo is not going anywhere. He is one of the players that the team believes in and they can’t just let him go. That’s why they are rumoured to have offered him a new two-year contract. It’s now just a matter of discussing the details of the contract and agree on it, but the team is willing to keep him and that’s why they have offered him a new contract although nothing has been signed on the dotted line yet,” the insider revealed to Siya crew.

Ex-Chiefs coach re-unites with Nabi

Just two weeks after leaving Kaizer Chiefs, goalkeeper coach Ilyes Mzoughi has finalised a deal to reunite with Nasreddine Nabi at Moroccan giants Raja Athletic Club, FARPost has learnt.

Mzoughi was recently released by Chiefs alongside co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze. Conditioning coach Majdi Safi also left the Soweto giants.

Kaze has since joined Sekhukhune United, while Ben Youssef is headed for Durban City FC. An official announcement is expected in the coming days as Mzoughi joins Raja’s technical team. Nabi is assembling his backroom staff for his new chapter in Morocco.

Nabi recently replaced South African coach Fadlu Davids at the three-time African champions. He has overseen two games, securing a 1-1 draw against Union Touarga and a 4-3 win over RCA Zemamra.

While Davids left alongside members of his backroom staff, Nabi arrived alone with just seven games remaining in the season. With Mzoughi’s signature now secured, the former AS FAR Rabat mentor has brought in a trusted lieutenant to shore up his bench.

The development comes shortly after Mzoughi’s departure from Chiefs, where he spent two seasons after arriving alongside Nabi in 2024.
