No excuses! Former Orlando Pirates coach believes Nasreddine Nabi has a 'well-balanced Kaizer Chiefs team now'

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral believes that Nasreddine Nabi has a competitive squad to potentially compete with Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.&nbsp;The Soweto giants have so far signed five players namely, Gaston Sirino, Fiacre Ntwari, Bongani Sam, Rushwin Dortley, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/inacio-miguel-kaizer-chiefs-confirm-transfer-of-former-petro-atletico-defender/blt13643d91e0374f06" target="_blank">Inacio Miguel</a>.&nbsp; When discussing Chiefs' new signings, Ertugral has emphatically said that the new mentor should be happy about his squad.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"Everybody has an opinion from the outside, inside knowledge is what counts. What counts is, the technical team has time to prepare as the league starts in mid-September and if you look at what the coach got in terms of new signings - he is happy," Ertugral told <a href="https://www.snl24.com/soccerladuma/local/premiership/kaizer-chiefs/is-nabi-happy-with-kaizer-chiefs-new-signings-ertugral-20240824" target="_blank">Soccer Laduma</a>.&nbsp;"He has to be happy. They got the most of what he wanted. If you look at the old players and the new players it's a well-balanced team now and that will make the technical team happy.&nbsp;"There is time for different concepts to develop and getting to know the ability of what is needed. Hopefully, they will turn it around. South African football needs Chiefs to be in the race for the title," he added.&nbsp;"If you have Chiefs, Pirates, and Sundowns in the title chase then you know South African football is back on top. You need Chiefs to be among the title chasers."&nbsp;

WHAT WAS SAID

Cheis have been linked with several PSL players such as Polokwane City's star Oswin Appollis, Riaan Hanamub of AmaZulu, and Stellenbosch FC defender <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-za/lists/stellenbosch-fc-not-budging-on-kaizer-chiefs-target-fawaaz-basadien-after-defender-handed-in-transfer-request/bltd9599473da2977a8" target="_blank">Fawaaz Basadien.</a>Moreover, outside the country, Pyramid FC's striker Fiston Mayele is among the players admired by Amakhosi.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Chiefs continue with their preparations for the new season. They are currently playing friendly games as they are not part of the ongoing MTN8 tournament.&nbsp; Amakhosi's first match of the season will be against Marumo Gallants in Bloemfontein on September 14 in a PSL clash.
