Kaizer Chiefs show potential under Nabi: Is he the Special one?

Kaizer Chiefs show potential under Nabi already, despite 2-1 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns. But could he be the “Special one”?

Chiefs fans are buzzing with renewed hope after a spirited performance against Sundowns, even though the team fell short at FNB Stadium. New head coach Nasreddine Nabi has already made a significant impact in just three games, leading the team to two victories and one loss.

Under Nabi’s guidance, the Chiefs exhibit a noticeable improvement compared to last season, where they finished a disappointing 10th in the league. The intensity and passion on the field signal a revival of the club’s competitive spirit, allowing the Amakhosi faithful to dream of silverware again.

Players like Mdu Shabalala are thriving, showcasing their talents thanks to Nabi’s positive influence. The team has scored six goals and conceded four so far, with Ranga Chivaviro netting twice.

Coach Nabi’s vision: Reawakening DNA

“I didn’t come with a new strategy; this is the DNA of Kaizer Chiefs,” Nabi stated, reflecting on his approach, as quoted by iDiski Times.

“Maybe I awakened the slumber; it’s normal if you are a player in Kaizer Chiefs, you have a specific DNA, specific characteristics, personality, you dislike losing.” His words resonate with the club’s storied history and identity.

Former Chiefs coach sees promise in new tactics

Former Kaizer Chiefs head coach Muhsin Ertugral also praised Nabi’s early impact. “Chiefs’ attacking formats, what they did, a very quick offensive transition,” Ertugral told SoccerBeatZA, hosted by Peter du Toit. He noted the pace and precision in Chiefs’ offensive plays, emphasising the importance of second balls and tactical patterns.

Despite the promising performance, the match was marred by controversy. Sundowns’ second goal arose from a disputed offside call, and Chiefs thought they had equalised in the 94th minute, only for referee Sikhumbuzo Gasa to blow his whistle, infuriating the home crowd. As the officials left the pitch, they faced an onslaught of objects thrown from the stands. However, Nabi refrained from commenting on Gasa’s officiating.

Standing in the league

In the aftermath, Sundowns reclaimed the top spot in the league with nine points from three matches, while Kaizer Chiefs dropped to fourth with six points. As the team regroups, fans remain hopeful that Nabi’s influence will continue to steer the club back to glory.

With Nabi at the helm, Kaizer Chiefs appear poised for a promising season. As the squad builds on its recent performances, supporters eagerly anticipate what lies ahead. Will they return to their winning ways and bring home the coveted trophies? Only time will tell.
