Football analyst tells Motaungs to intervene as Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi is 'taking the team in a wrong direction! It is a disaster'

Nasreddine Nabi was appointed as Kaizer Chiefs coach to help the club get back to the top of Mzansi football.

The Glamour Boys had finished 10th in the Premier Soccer League in the 2023/24 season, which is their worst-ever record in the Premier Soccer League era.

In the nine Premier Soccer League matches played this season, Chiefs have managed to secure three wins, as many draws and three losses as well.

They have collected one win in their last seven league matches which is not what the fans had anticipated.

Amakhosi were eliminated from the Carling Knockout in the quarter-final phase by finalists Mamelodi Sundowns.

Reeve Frosler and Inacio Miguel have suffered red cards recently, with the latter missing three games already due to suspensions.

Former Chiefs winger Junior Khanye, who is now a football analyst, insists the management should ask questions.

“The boardroom should have been having conversations about Nabi from a while ago,” Khanye told iDiski Times.

“I mean if you look at the games he has won, [Gaston] Sirino was on top of his game. Yes, Sirino was on top of his game, a special player but the overall performance not a lot of people would have noticed who helped when the team won.

"Was it the opposition’s mistakes or having a special player who can make things happen or did other players raise their hands because of him? he asked.

“They should have noticed during the game against [Mamelodi] Sundowns. Yes, Sundowns are on top, but Chiefs played against a poor Sundowns under Manqoba Mngqithi. Yes, Sundowns scored four goals on the day but if Chiefs showed up it would have been a balanced game, but they were poor.

“That’s where they should have questioned him. Forget the Polokwane City game and look at the game against Magesi, look at how he played tactically. A lot of fans celebrated that draw. I have respect for fans and I understand that when you support a team that used to win, that used to have star players you will be like that but they also need to be honest."

Khanye has further stated the Glamour Boys are losing their discipline from the technical bench down to the players and questioned whether Nabi knew what was really needed at the club.

“I wouldn’t have judged him when he arrived but there are many coaches, unknown coaches who are better than him. As a coach he should have done his research about the Glamour Boys, watch DVDs so he can see the type of players Chiefs need or even the type of football the club should play," he added.

“I know everyone wants results but that won’t be now. I think he was signed to win at least one trophy but it’s a disaster because he’s under pressure now.

“He wants to win desperately, he is always attacking the referee, I mean the Chiefs technical team gets a card in each game because they came here with the mentality that they will win a cup, like they said we must win," he continued.

“Unfortunately for me, this guy is taking the team in the wrong direction."

Nabi has been arguing that he does not have enough quality players to help in rebuilding the team.

The transfer window is opening next month and he will be hoping the management gives him what he wants to deliver.
