Former Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids has clarified his remarks on Nasreddine Nabi‘s style of play.
Davids likened Nabi’s style of football to that of German coach Ernst Middendorp. The former Maritzburg coach has explained what he meant when he compared Nabi and Middendorp’s style of play.
“I think I’ve been misquoted a lot of the times, ” Davids told iDiski Times.
“I think people misunderstood where I said he is a direct coach. I’m talking about how he was the most attacking [team], he scored the most goals in Morocco.
Former Pirates coach Fadlu Davids praises Nabi
“He was the coach that was always on top of us, it was so difficult to always play against him.
“It’s exciting times for Kaizer Chiefs, I think he will do extremely well there,” the former Pirates coach added.
“Tactically it was never an easy game. There was always something he came up with against us to expose our weaknesses and he’s an attacking coach, that will move forward at any moment, that will attack.
“He will play a brand of football the Kaizer Chiefs fans will enjoy and I wish him all the best as well. It’s been a very difficult season in the end for him [in Morocco] but a fantastic season overall for FAR Rabat what they had last season.”
Davids is currently an assistant coach at Raja Casablanca alongside former Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer. The two won a league double in Morocco with Raja this past season.
