Kaizer Chiefs: Nasreddine Nabi to leave? Amakhosi management unhappy
Nasreddine Nabi faces an uncertain future at Kaizer Chiefs after a disappointing pre-season. Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi's future is under discussion. Amakhosi management is not happy with a couple of things. So, they are set to hold important talks with Nabi over his future soon. Amakhosi management is unpleased and unhappy with Nabi. They are unhappy with the poor results during Chiefs' recent pre-season of Netherlands. Furthermore, they are displeased with Nabi's attitude as well. 'To be honest with you, I don't know what is going to happen with the coach, but what I can tell you is that management is not competently happy with how things are going. They are not happy with the coach's attitude at times and were not convinced by the preseason preparations. They do want to address it,' the insider stated on SNL . Therefore, Chiefs are set to hold important talks with Nabi over his future. Meanwhile, Chiefs were spotted with a new coach and have a new captain who will usher in the new era of Amakhosi football. However, these talks have been placed on hold for now. That is because Nabi is dealing with personal issues. The current Chiefs head coach was not available for Amakhosi's BetWay Premiership opener against Stellenbosch FC. This is because his wife was involved in an accident. He is spending time with her during this time. Khalil Ben Youssef steps up as the interim coach. Therefore, as things stand, Nabi will resume his position as head coach when he returns. However, as disucssed, Amakhosi management are unhappy. So, they will be holding key talks with Nabi soon. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

Orlando Pirates Player Ratings: Who FIRED, Who FLOPPED
Orlando Pirates started their BetWay Premiership campaign with a loss to Sekhukhune United. Orlando Pirates lost 1-0 to Sekhukhune United at home. This was not the start Abdeslam Ouaddou or Bucs wanted. So, let's take a look at which Bucs players flopped and who performed well during their loss. Sipho Mbule – 7/10 Mbule put in another solid performance in the Bucs midfield. Despite the loss, he was calm and composed all day. He held the ball well and maintained position for the Bucs. He also tested the keeper from range and was one of the only Pirates stars who played well. Sihle Nduli – 7/10 Nduli and Mbule look set to play a key role for the Bucs in the midfield. He won back position a couple of times and kept play moving. Sipho Chaine – 6/10 Chaine slowed down play with his delaying tactics. However, it worked against Pirates as they struggled to get build momentum on attack. Tshepo Mashiloane (6/10) He struggled defensively and did not offer much on the counter. He had a better second half and a below par first. Patrick Maswanganyi (6/10) Maswanganyi saw plenty of ball but did not do much with it. He did not have confidence to take on defenders and did not offer much on attack. Oswin Appollis (6/10) Appollis failed to deliver on the expectation and hype surrounding his first performance for Pirates in the MTN8 quarter final against Polokwane City. He was quite and did not make much of an impact.
