Former Chiefs Captain Warns Against Coaching Overhaul

Former Chiefs Captain Warns Against Coaching Overhaul

Nasreddine Nabi of Kaizer Chiefs during the Nedbank Cup

With talks in the fraternity that Kaizer Chiefs need an overhaul, former Amakhosi captain Patrick Mabedi has urged the club look to the future with coach Nasreddine Nabi as coach.  

With the club having secured a Nedbank Cup final spot, Nabi will be under pressure to end the nine-year trophy drought.

The Malawian believes that Nabi has the ability to change the team's fortunes, despite the current results. 

"Yes, the results are not looking good the moment. And it's true, any team is judged by its results but from where I am standing, the team has improved under coach Nabi. Look at the chances they have been creating, though they can't convert," Mabedi said, speaking exclusively to Soccer Laduma.

“If you change the coach now, things have to start all over again which won't be good. That's why I am saying Chiefs should keep Nabi. There is no need to fire him," the former defender added.

Mabedi further urged the players to play their part and improve the team's performance going forward. 

"You know, as a coach Nabi can only do so much. The rest is up to the players to do their job on the field of play. The coach does his work at training and in the dressing room but in the field of play it's up to the players and I think they haven't been 100 percent perfect so far. They need to work on that and keep the coach, " the former assistant coach added. 

Chiefs are currently in position eight on the league standings and will battle it out for Nedbank Cup honours against Orlando Pirates on Saturday 10 May.
