Nasreddine Nabi reveals being approached by clubs offering 'three times than the salary I receive' at Kaizer Chiefs, warns Amakhosi fans - 'People talk too much, I’m not here for the money, I know what I'm doing'

Kaizer Chiefs' struggle to win the Premier Soccer League title has left fans questioning coach Nasreddine Nabi's capability to break Mamelodi Sundowns' hegemony in domestic football.

But Nabi has hit back at the fans, saying he is committed to his job and is aware of what he is doing.

The Tunisian has also expressed his allegiance to Chiefs by revealing that there are clubs interested in him and making big offers, but he is not being enticed by money.

“The coach can be criticised; that’s how the job is, that’s the description of the job; you lose four games, people have the right to criticise you,” said Nabi as per FARPost.

“But the fans of Kaizer Chiefs need to be careful because this is a process that is going on, and it has been 10 years that things are going, coming back to zero, going and coming back to zero.

“Sometimes there are people that don’t want the process to succeed, and the best way is to criticise the coach, and the coach gets fired, then the process is going to start from zero again, and then it is going to be a cycle that is starting every year or every season.

“I’m not here for the money," added the ex-Young Africans coach. 

“People talk too much in the media. My salary, I don’t talk [about it] I promise you. Every three days I have a proposition in big clubs. Three times than [the] salary I receive here. 

“I have a mission here with Kaizer Chiefs and I have big respect for the mission. I’m not here for the money, and I love this club and I’m strong, and I don’t lose my confidence quickly because I’m strong.

“I’m going to sacrifice everything to ensure Chiefs go back to where they belong, and the criticism is part of the job, but sometimes when you see your colleagues, coaches criticise you, that’s a lack of respect, especially when you are in a bad situation," the Tunisian continued.

"That’s lack of respect; that’s what impacted me, not the rest but being criticised by your own colleagues who can be in your own shoes or who have been in your own shoes that’s bad. I believe I have a strong foundation and experience. I know what I’m doing; I will get it right.”

True to what Nabi has said, Chiefs' biggest drawback appears to be the frequent changing of coaches since they won the PSL title in 2015.

The arrival of a new coach at Naturena is often regarded as a rebuilding process only for them to leave before finishing his mission.

His successor starts all over again and that could make Nabi's bosses to be patient with him to fully implement his methods over a long period of time.

Chiefs are now left with 11 PSL games before they conclude their season and those matches are opportunities to climb up the table and finish the season in the top-three, which is still within their reach.

They also have the Nedbank Cup to play for where they have reached the quarter-final stage.
