Kaizer Chiefs started the Betway Premiership season without head coach Nasereddine Nabi but have managed to win their opening two encounters.
Coach Nabi is currently in his home country, Tunisia, attending to his wife who was involved in an accident shortly before Chiefs' 2-0 win over Stellenbosch FC a couple weeks ago.

Assistant coach Khalil Ben Youssef has now poured cold water on those suggesting that Nabi is not involved in decision-making leading up to the games.
Speaking to the media during a press conference ahead of their game against Richards Bay United on Tuesday evening, Youseff has revealed that they have zoom meetings with Nabi and the technical team everyday.
“I think this point we have discussed a lot about it. The coach is here or the coach is not here. We are a technical staff. All of us are familiar and we work together. We keep contact every day. Every training session we discuss and we make on zoom. And every day we have meetings as the technical staff to discuss about all the players. We prepare for the game together and really coach Nabi is not here physically but he is with us. We work together. We are a team and we help each other and we don’t think about who is here, who is not here because, we are all a technical staff and we work together,” Youssef told the media.

Meanwhile, the assistant coach added that now they are taking each game as a cup final as they look to extend their winning run in the league.
"This season we always have to be ready for the next game. Always to take each game like a cup game and we have decided to take it game by game without thinking far. For tomorrow, we have Richards Bay. So when we finish this game then we can start to think about the next game, " he added.
