Kaizer Chiefs' technical team will be reset this week with the return of goalkeeper coach Ilyes Mzoughi following a three-week spell away.
Mzoughi arrived at Chiefs on the recommendation of Nabi and has been tasked with leading the goalkeeping department, doing so with an element of visible passion.

Unfortunate for the Tunisian trainer was that after sitting on the bench for only his second official game against AmaZulu FC last month, his mother passed away.
The club immediately granted him leave of absence on compassionate grounds.
Mzoughi then took the long flight back home and, after the family bereavement, then joined the Mauritania national team in camp, which was held in Tunisia, for the AFCON qualifiers against Egypt.
Mauritania lost those two games in Group C, leaving them with thin chances of making it to their fourth consecutive Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Mzoughi is holding two similar keeper coach jobs at Chiefs and FFRIM (Fédération de Football de la Mauritanie), for whom he has worked since 2021.
This has meant when there is a FIFA date, Mzoughi travels for international duty, paving the way for Aubrey Mathibe to come back into the first team on an interim basis.
Mathibe took charge during the September international break and was brought back again when Mzoughi travelled for his family bereavement before joining up with the Lions of Chinguetti.

In the 2-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns, Mathibe took Mzoughi's seat on the bench.
