Why Is Fernando Da Cruz Leaving Kaizer Chiefs?

According to football journalist Micky Jnr on X, Fernando Da Cruz is reportedly stepping down from his position as assistant coach to Nasreddine Nabi at Kaizer Chiefs. This move comes as a surprise to many, considering the team's recent restructuring and the anticipation surrounding the upcoming season.

Fernando Da Cruz was appointed as Nabi’s second assistant coach this summer. Before joining the Glamour Boys, Da Cruz had an impressive career, working as a coach, technical director, scout, and youth coach across Europe and Africa. With a UEFA Pro license under his belt, he’s no stranger to high-stakes football environments.

The reason behind his departure? Reports suggest that Da Cruz has been offered a top role with the Moroccan Football Association as their Technical Director under a new initiative called OCP. This project aims to revolutionize football in Morocco, and it seems like Da Cruz couldn’t resist the allure of such an ambitious venture.

For now, Kaizer Chiefs hasn’t officially confirmed these rumors. However, if the reports hold true, the club may need to act quickly to find a replacement for Da Cruz to ensure Nabi’s technical team remains fully staffed for the season ahead.

What Fans Are Saying About Da Cruz’s Potential Exit

As you can imagine, the news has sparked a lively debate among fans on social media. Here’s a look at what some of them had to say:

"If he decides to leave, I will congratulate him. I understand that the Moroccan football association wants the best for their football and they offer good pay. I just hope no one is trying to sabotage my team."

Uncle_Prof added:

"If true, this guy was never really committed to the project or he doesn't see it bearing any fruits..."

Siphe_Sihle_ voiced his concerns:

"I saw it coming. He's the second one to quit before the start of the season. Of course, he's being diplomatic about the reasons, to save face for the club. Nabi will follow soon to save his reputation too."

Khonzanisphe offered a more optimistic take:

"Kaizer Chiefs got the main man. He is the most wanted man around Africa. I hope my FC will be able to keep him."

And bhekidesmahlang summed it up perfectly:

"Our guy is Nabi, Da Cruz can go if a better offer comes!"

Will Kaizer Chiefs Make a New Move for Bafana Star?

In other news, Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly planning to submit an improved bid for a Bafana Bafana star. The Soweto-based club made an initial offer for the player, but it was reportedly rejected by Cape Town Spurs. Now, with the transfer window still open, Chiefs are determined to strengthen their squad and make a statement in the league.

As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Nasreddine Nabi and his technical team to see how they navigate these challenges and prepare the Glamour Boys for success. Whether it’s securing new talent or rebuilding their coaching staff, one thing is certain: the drama at Kaizer Chiefs is far from over.
