Nabi Shares Blunt Vision for Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs coach, Nasreddine Nabi, wants club supporters to understand that he cannot be expected to perform miracles overnight.

Two months ago, Nabi – who previously coached Moroccan outfit, AS FAR Rabat, and elevated them to success during his brief tenure – was hired as Amakhosi’s head coach.

As such, fans have held out the hope that he will turn the struggling club’s fortunes around in the upcoming 2024/25 Betway Premiership season.

However, at the official launch of the league last week, the Tunisian tactician was straightforward about his current vision for Chiefs, emphasising his intention to fortify the team before aiming for championship victories:

“I don’t want to speak like I’m a fan … I respect this club and these fans. I need to build a strong team step by step, but first, we are starting. I don’t need confusion now, starting with the positive, not the negative. I want passion, space and comprehension, because it’s like that in football.

“If you respect Kaizer Chiefs, if you respect the fans of Kaizer Chiefs, [you will understand that patience is key]. I know there is a challenge. I love my club. I love my fans. Me and my staff, we will give 200 per cent, and I know the direction I take.”
