Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi doesn’t believe his team is ready to challenge for trophies this season.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Nabi said some reporters are trying hard to portray Chiefs as title contenders.
However, this is not the case, according to Nabi, who said the project he is undertaking has steps.
He admitted that Chiefs are now undergoing a transition period and have not reached their full potential to be challenging for trophies.
Nabi is aware of the amount of work that needs to be done for this Chiefs team that is without a trophy for 10 seasons.
He was speaking on the back of Amakhosi’s 2-2 draw away to Magesi FC on Wednesday night.
Chiefs scored two quick goals through Mduduzi Shabalala to steal a point after going down 2-0 to Magesi on the night.
KAIZER CHIEFS CAN’T WIN TROPHIES NOW – NABI
“There are some media people that are trying to portray Kaizer Chiefs as title contenders and as a team that will win a trophy immediately, which is not the case,” Nabi told reporters on Thursday.
“But we have to play and get the results. This is a wrong narrative to influence the people to think we can win things now.
“The mission I am here to fulfil has steps, and the first step is a transition period. I’m not saying this to make an excuse because of the recent results, but we have to stick on the trajectory of the mission.
“This team is 10 years without a trophy and last season was probably the worst season in the history of the club, finishing 10th. This brings us to the objective of a long-term project.
“We promise our fans that we are doing everything we can to reach the level Chiefs expected to be as soon as possible,” added Nabi.
