Nasreddine Nabi has split opinions across the league and reportedly within Kaizer Chiefs, with some backing the Tunisian’s plans and others not.
This scrutiny comes only six months after Nabi joined from Morocco’s FAR Rabat; the manager’s league record after thirteen games is five wins, five losses, and three draws.
Kaizer Chiefs’ last three matches perfectly sums up their topsy-turvy season, losing 1-0 to a then struggling Cape Town City team before beating a well-oiled Stellenbosch side, followed by a mediocre 1-0 loss to Golden Arrows, who subsequently jumped the Soweto giants on the table.
Nabi’s side have failed to be consistent, and it seems that some of the Chiefs’ management is starting to lose patience. A few members have suggested they axe the 59-year-old.
Kaizer Chiefs’ upcoming fixture
The Glamour Boys will face third-placed Sekhukhune United on Sunday, January 19, and this could be Nabi’s last chance to prove his worth amid a growing divide among Kaizer Chiefs’ hierarchy regarding his future.
Kick-off: 15:30
Inside source confirms speculation
“There was a meeting just like after every game to analyse what went wrong against Golden Arrows but the issue of the coach (Nabi) was then discussed,” SoccerLaduma reported.
“Yes, there were two groups of minds. One saying they should give him games to prove himself before the end of the season and if he fails in those games then they part ways.
“While the other side still believes that he needs time to turn the fortunes around. That side believes he has brought some positivity to the team (Chiefs.”
