Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has sent a big message to his players after Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.
KAIZER CHIEFS 1-2 MAMELODI SUNDOWNS
Ranga Chivaviro grabbed an early lead before Sundowns replied with two goals from Lucas Ribeiro and Iqraam Rayners to seal a 2-1 win.
Kaizer Chiefs coach Nabi later responded to the unexpected 85,000 fans for a Sundowns and Amakhosi game.
“Yes, for that I want beautiful football, not now but I think with a club like Kaizer Chiefs with a big DNA, it’s needed. If you propose beautiful football with results, I think the fans come back,” Nabi said via SABC.
I need them, I need the fans, all the players need the fans, honestly in bad and good moments, I need them but I promise the fans, step by step we will propose very beautiful football because for now we are only on 20% from what I imagine from Kaizer Chiefs [style of play],” he concluded.
HAPPY WITH GASTON SIRINO
Gaston Sirino scored his first goal for Kaizer Chiefs against AmaZulu last week, resulting in a 3-1 win, and Nasreddine Nabi sounds pleased.
After ending his six-year career with Sundowns, the 33-year-old Uruguayan was signed by Amakhosi in July, thanks to 41 goals and 44 assists for Kabo Yellow.
With a superb assist in his first game against Marumo Gallants, and a classy goal against AmaZulu last night, coach Nabi believes Sirino is the example of players he wants at Kaizer Chiefs.
“He’s a great role model for them and he brings a lot of positive impact on the youngsters,” the tactician stated.
“It’s exactly the same kind of player I would like to get. If you remember I already said I didn’t want to have middle-class players. I want to have top quality players like Sirino,” the Kaizer Chiefs mentor concluded.

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has secured a new job while his future with Amakhosi remains uncertain.
SABC Sport have confirmed that the Amakhosi legend has joined the public broadcaster as an analyst.
“We will also be enhancing our coverage by strengthening the analysis team. This move will ensure that we provide insightful commentary and in-depth analysis for our viewers,” SABC Group CEO Nomsa Chabeli said, as quoted by the Hollywoodbets.
