Nasreddine Nabi asks Kaizer Chiefs fans not to get 'over-excited' after Stellenbosch FC win and warns of 'people who push the agenda as they don't want the club to succeed'

Kaizer Chiefs edged Stellenbosch 2-1 in a Premier Soccer League match at FNB Stadium on Wednesday.

It was a timely return to winning ways after the Soweto giants started 2025 with a 1-0 defeat by Cape Town City last weekend.

As Chiefs fans are celebrating Wednesday's victory, Amakhosi coach Nasreddine Nabi does not want them to get too excited.

“My mission here [at Chiefs] is to build a good team and in this process, we can lose, we can win like today but we have to be realistic and [not] get over-excited because we won. We still have a lot of work to do,'' Nabi said as per Sowetan Live. 

“We believe that our supporters have the right to be frustrated when the results are not there but we have to understand that sometimes it's other people who push the agenda as they don't want the club to succeed."

Now placed fifth on the standings, Chiefs still have a chance of finishing the season in the top two.

But that requires them to be consistent and not blowing hot and cold as they have been doing.

The Soweto giants have nine points fewer than second-placed Orlando Pirates who, however, have a game in hand.

Amakhosi will be trying to complete two successive PSL wins when they host Golden Arrows at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Sunday.

The last time Chiefs won two straight games was in September when the season had just started and since then, they have been struggling for consistency.
