Kaizer Chiefs, their squad arrives in Istanbul, Turkey for pre-season camps. Ashley Du Preez has joined the team after recovering from a foot injury. Du Preez, along with four other injured players, stayed behind in South Africa while the rest of the team traveled to Istanbul. Du Preez’s return is a positive development for the team as he is a key player and expected to play a crucial role under incoming coach Nasreddine Nabi.
The arrival of Du Preez coincides with Nabi’s expected announcement as the new head coach of Kaizer Chiefs on Monday. Nabi, who has previously coached Young Africans and AS FAR, arrived in Istanbul on Sunday and will have his first training session with the team. The rest of Nabi’s technical team members are also in Istanbul, with the entire team now assembled.
The pre-season camp in Istanbul is seen as a crucial period for Chiefs as they gear up for the upcoming season. With new signings like left-back Bongani Sam from Orlando Pirates, Chiefs are aiming to improve on their disappointing 10th-place finish last season. The team will be looking to build a strong squad under Nabi’s leadership.
Overall, the addition of Du Preez to the squad and Nabi’s arrival as the new head coach has brought a sense of optimism to the Kaizer Chiefs camp in Istanbul. With a focus on recovery, training, and team building, the team is gearing up for a successful season ahead.
