‘Kaizer Chiefs knows nothing about Nabi’ – Ex-Amakhosi coach claims Pitso was the best option

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral claims Amakhosi know nothing about their ‘soon-to-be coach’ Nasreddine Nabi.

According to reports, Nabi has already signed a contract with the Soweto giants and is expected to be unveiled next week. The 58-year-old Tunisian along with Pitso Mosimane were in the front running for the vacant coaching job at Chiefs.

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Ertugral believes Mosimane would have been a better option over Nabi.

“I don’t see the need to pay attention to a coach that Chiefs knows nothing about [Nabi] when Mosimane is unemployed and does not hide the fact that he grew up as a Chiefs fan,” Ertugral told Isolezwe.

“The silence of Chiefs is shameful because they do not act like a team that is considered to be great.

“Everything they know about the coach they are associated with is from the media, but they know Mosimane’s work.

Coach Ertugral says Pitso is more suited for Kaizer Chiefs than Nabi

“Hiring Mosimane will reduce many problems that would come with a new coach who still has to learn a lot not only about the team but also about the league,” the Turkish coach added.

“When the Chiefs hired me years ago, they told me that there is a culture that is followed, but I don’t believe that it is still being followed.

Kaizer Chiefs has gone almost 10 years without winning silverware and fans are hoping Nabi could be the coach to change everything. Ertugral though believes the club has lost their culture.

“This is not the Chiefs I know, who have gone for almost ten years without putting anything in the trophy cabinet as if nothing had happened,” he said.

“It’s not that I’m talking bad about the coach identified in Chiefs, but it doesn’t make sense to hire a foreigner when Mosimane is not working anywhere if you’re determined to bring back the happy times.”

According to multiple reports, Kaizer Chiefs are set to announce Nabi as their new coach soon.
