Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi will be feeling a sigh of relief following his side’s Nedbank Cup triumph over bitter rivals Orlando Pirates, seven days after losing to Jose Riveiro’s side in the league.

His next challenge? Secure MTN8 qualification. But, after months of public scrutiny and rumours of being let go, the Tunisian tactician seems set to stay in Soweto.

However, he has some demands.

“I wouldn’t be honest if say that I’m gonna stay if the club doesn’t allow me to get all the tools to succeed next season because they have promised, and myself, I have promised the fans that I want to build a successful team that will compete in every competition to win trophies,” Nabi told SuperSport.

“That’s the condition for me to stay [at Chiefs] because I don’t feel that I want to go through what I went through this season.”

Mayele latest

Nedbank Cup glory means Kaizer Chiefs are now R7 million richer, increasing their chances of signing long-term target Fiston Mayele, who is also being monitoring by Orlando Pirates.

“There has been contact [between Pirates and Mayele], and although nothing is concrete at this stage, there is a possibility,” an inside source said.

“Mayele’s camp is testing the waters and trying to see if Pirates are willing to make a concrete move to the PSL.”

“Given the current situation, both in terms of Pirates’ need for a proven striker and Mayele’s availability, this could be a very real transfer possibility.”

“It’s no secret that Pirates are in the market for a reliable goal-scorer, and after what Mayele did to them on the continental stage, it’s clear he could be that guy.”
