Fernando Da Cruz served as his Nasreddine Nabi's econd assistant but left early in his term as he now returns as the head coch at Naturena.
The appointment of Fernando Da Cruz was meant to signal a clean break and a fresh tactical direction at Kaizer Chiefs, but instead it has reinforced questions about direction rather than clarity.
Instead, it has exposed deeper uncertainty about the club’s long-term football planning at Naturena.
While Nasreddine Nabi’s name continues to dominate conversations around structural influence, the most recent measurable progress came under Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef, who led the team to a CAF qualification spot before both were dismissed at the end of the season.
That achievement stands as a completed chapter rather than an ongoing system — a short-term intervention that delivered results before the club opted for another reset.
