Tunisian tactician Nasreddine Nabi should not be at Kaizer Chiefs to date owing to his struggles, according to the club's former striker Fees Moloi.
Nabi was appointed at the start of the ongoing campaign to help the Glamour Boys get back to the top of South African football. The Supporters felt he was the right man for the job thanks for his initial success with former teams.
However, he has struggled to make an impact as anticipated, and the club is at a risk of missing out on the MTN8 for the second season running. On Sunday, they will play Mamelodi Sundowns in the semi-final of the Nedbank Cup.
Moloi argues fans have not called for Nabi's exit because they demanded for him, but if he was South African, then he would be jobless. The goalkeeping decision by the technical team has also been questioned by the former attacker, who believes Bruce Bvuma shouldn't be in goal for the Glamour Boys.
A Kaizer Chiefs legend should be on the technical bench
“I prefer Brandon Peterson in goals because Bvuma's record this season doesn't allow him to start games. In football, if you don't produce results, you move aside. But I blame the coach. Can somebody tell me why Nabi is still at Kaizer Chiefs?” he said as quoted by SNL24.
“If you can check records now, you will see he has done worse than both Arthur Zwane and Molefi Ntseki. The club must explain why they are keeping him when he is dismally failing. “You cannot just go to coach in a foreign country and not include anyone from that country in your technical team.
“But Nabi has brought his assistant coaches and translator, and these boys are scared of him; even when he speaks, it's difficult to make sense of what he is saying. But Nabi has brought his assistant coaches and translator, and these boys are scared of him; even when he speaks, it's difficult to make sense of what he is saying,” Moloi continued.
“They should put one of Chiefs's legends on the bench, someone who will speak these boys' language and also calm them down when he shouts at them. To respect somebody and being scared of somebody it's two different things. Now even the fans are unable to call for Nabi's sacking because they are the ones who forced the club to employ him.
“But if Nabi was from here in South Africa, he would be long gone. That proves nobody takes us local coaches seriously,” he concluded.
