Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in a tough spot this season, sitting sixth in the league standings and trailing leaders Mamelodi Sundowns by a daunting twelve points.

With five wins, five losses, and three draws in their 13 matches so far, the team’s performance echoes the disappointment of last season, where they finished in a historic low of tenth place.

The weight of expectations has made Nasreddine Nabi’s role as head coach incredibly challenging.

Despite some initial optimism, the team’s decline has drawn comparisons to the well-documented struggles of Manchester United in recent years.

Nasreddine Nabi’s Future Hangs in the Balance

According to reports, the Chiefs’ management is divided on whether to stick with Nabi or make a change.

A recent post-match meeting after their loss to Golden Arrows reportedly shifted focus from analyzing the game to evaluating Nabi’s future.

Some members of the management believe Nabi deserves a few more games to prove himself before any drastic decisions are made.

Others argue that while the Tunisian coach has brought a positive energy to the squad, the results simply haven’t improved enough to justify keeping him on.

Christian Saile’s Struggles Raise Transfer Speculation

Meanwhile, Congolese winger Christian Saile has also faced criticism this season.

In six league appearances, the 25-year-old has yet to find the back of the net, leaving fans and analysts questioning his role in the team.

Club legend Itumeleng Khune suggested Saile might thrive with Chippa United, who are reportedly interested in signing him.

Speaking to SoccerZone, Khune noted, “Saile’s strength lies in running at defenders, but he hasn’t displayed that since Nabi took over.

At Chippa United, he could get the opportunities he needs, but I doubt he’ll shine at Kaizer Chiefs.”

Should Kaizer Chiefs Part Ways with Nabi?

The big question now is whether Kaizer Chiefs should stick with Nasreddine Nabi or start fresh.

While some fans and analysts urge patience, others believe immediate changes are necessary to salvage the season.
