Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Junior Khanye has given his thoughts on reports linking Nasreddine Nabi’s exit at Naturena.
On Wednesday afternoon, it was reported that Amakhosi had decided to part ways with Nabi after just six matches this match. The club has not given any statement regarding the situation with their head coach.
Speaking on iDiski TV, Khanye said he was not surprised with Chiefs’ decision to part ways with their coach.
“I’m not surprised because the guy was not there when the season started. They won three games [without him]. When he left, the team was winning, and when he returned, he had to answer questions on why the team suddenly started losing,” he said.
“I think he failed dismally; he lost games he shouldn’t have. He made Chiefs worse. The Chiefs under Arthur [Zwane] were better.”
Khanye said Nabi was a bad coach for Kaizer Chiefs
“When he was signed, his mandate was to win a trophy, which he did. The way he won the Nedbank Cup raises a lot of questions because the referees played a huge role…against Stellenbosch, in the final and also against Sundowns,” Khanye added.
“The Chiefs management must take accountability because why did they take Nabi if Pitso [Mosimane] and Rulani [Mokwena] were available? Football is not an event; it’s a process. “
Khanye warned Chiefs from continuing with Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaize.
“These are Nabi’s people. They are still going to communicate telephonically. Obviously they won’t reveal to the management that they are communicating with him but it will happen.”
Just because he won three matches, Chiefs will make him an interim coach. I still say they must hire a coach and let him bring his own team.”
