Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has told the media that his laboured first season with Amakhosi was expected.

NASREDDINE NABI ON WHY KAIZER CHIEFS STRUGGLED

According to the Tunisian coach, a transition season is always tough to endure. Amakhosi finished in ninth place with only eight wins from 28 matches.

However, Nabi ended the club’s decade-long trophy drought with the Nedbank Cup title.

“We knew that this season was going to be tough given the process we are engaged with as a club,” Nabio told Kaizer Chiefs’ official website.

“But after going everything this season, now there is a clear path to know what we need to do and what decisions we need to take in order to improve next season.

“That said, not finishing in the top eight is a disappointment, although it doesn’t undermine the effort the players have put in and what we have achieved, which is to win the Nedbank Cup.

“Not every team can say they have won a trophy this season. Kaizer Chiefs fans should take pride in that and enjoy it.

“I want to remain honest, as I have been since the beginning, so I say that we came here to rebuild the team and at the start of that process one can’t expect results to flow immediately.

“All of our decisions are governed by the process. Whether we win or lose, at this stage it is about assessing where we are in the process of converting this team into a successful one,” the Kaizer Chiefs mentor added.
