The decision has shocked fans and raised fresh questions about the club\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <strong>SABC Sport<\/strong>, the split comes after complications with Nabi\u2019s CAF coaching qualifications. Without the required certification, he would not have been allowed to sit on the bench during Amakhosi\u2019s interclub competition fixtures this season, particularly if the team progressed further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udca3 Breaking. <br><br>Chiefs to sack Nasreddine Nabi. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UpFLwbuvLC\">pic.twitter.com\/UpFLwbuvLC<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Mazola J.
