'Nasreddine Nabi is not coming back' – Ex-Kaizer Chiefs attacker
Former Kaizer Chiefs attacker Junior Khanye is under the impression that Amakhosi head coach Nasreddine Nabi will not return to Naturena. The Tunisian tactician left the club just before the season kicked off to attend to his wife, who was involved in an accident. In the two Betway Premiership which Chiefs played, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze have guided the club to two wins. Speaking after Amakhosi's 1-0 win over Polokwane City on Wednesday, Khanye felt the home side deserved the win despite playing poor football. 'This was not an exciting game, to be honest. It lacked intensity and was played at a slow pace. But well done to the Chiefs; they deserved to win this game. They didn't play beautiful football, but they were more aggressive than this team,' he said. The former SA U/23 star had his doubts about Nabi's return, given how the team has performed without him. 'Personally, I had my doubts if he was coming back this season. They did mention in their statement that his wife was sick (involved in an accident). But when I look at it, I think it raises a lot of questions. 'Well done to the assistant coach, they won, but the team is still not balanced,' Khanye said on iDiski TV. 'For me, the technical team has shown that they can win without him.' Kaizer Chiefs will next be in action against Richards Bay at home next Tuesday. The Glamour Boys are currently top of the log after two matches. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.

‘Write this down – No Trophies!': Khanye's brutal Chiefs prediction
Outspoken football analyst Junior Khanye has given his thoughts on Kaizer Chiefs new signings ahead of the Betway Premiership season, which kicks off this weekend. The former Amakhosi winger feels the Glamour Boys will have another bad season under Nasreddine Nabi. Chiefs finished ninth in the Betway Premiership last campaign but claimed the Nedbank Cup, which somewhat salvaged their poor season. Khanye said the cup win was a fluke and predicted the Soweto giants to struggle for results under the Tunisian tactician. 'Number one, they will never win any trophy for me, write this down. Even last season, it is questionable the way they won the trophy. I'm still questioning how they won the semi-final, even against Stellenbosch, the referee played a major part,' Khanye said In the Betway Premiership, there is a possibility that they will finish ninth. They have average players; no team fears them. They have been dominated by Golden Arrows,' he said. In terms of Kaizer Chiefs' new signings, Khanye felt the team lacked quality players, and the six new recruitments would not make any significant changes. 'With the players they signed, they will be at the same level and the worst thing is that there are expectations. I don't understand why they still kept Nabi.' Chiefs travel to Cape Town to play Stellenbosch FC on Sunday, hoping to start their league campaign on a high. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 0211.
