Nabi reveals what Kaizer Chiefs bosses promised him

Whether Nasreddine Nabi remains Kaizer Chiefs coach beyond this season is everyone’s guess.

The 59-year-old led Amakhosi to their first trophy in 10 years however, his poor league form may see the club’s management opting to release him.

Chiefs are ninth in the Betway Premiership and with two matches to go, they need to win all of them to finish in the top 8. Failure to do so might force the Chiefs management to look for a new coach as they look to strengthen their squad for next season.

Speaking on Extra Time, Nabi explained one condition that would make him stay at Kaizer Chiefs.

“I wouldn’t be honest if say that I’m gonna stay if the club doesn’t allow me to get all the tools to succeed next season because they have promised, and myself, I have promised the fans that I want to build a successful team that will compete in every competition to win trophies,” he said on Extra Time.

Kaizer Chiefs and Nabi to have talks

“That’s the condition for me to stay [at Chiefs] because I don’t feel that I want to go through what I went through this season,” Nabi concluded.

On Monday morning, Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr denied rumours of Nabi’s exit. He told Xoli Zondo on 5FM that the 59-year-old tactician was set to continue for another season.

“Coach has got another season after this with us now,” said Motaung Jr.

“At the same time, like we do after every season, we sit down and review. We know that the results in the league have been inconsistent.”

Nabi is set to meet up with Kaizer Chiefs management to review the season later this month.

Should Nabi stay for another season?
