Coach Nasreddine Nabi’s Ultimatum Pays Off as Kaizer Chiefs Reach Nedbank Cup Final
Reports have emerged that Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi was prepared to step down from his role if the team failed to reach the final of the Nedbank Cup. This revelation came before Sunday’s semifinal showdown against Mamelodi Sundowns.
A source close to the team disclosed that Nabi made this statement to the players as a form of motivation, challenging them to secure a spot in the final. The ultimatum seemed to have a significant impact on the squad, as they displayed a renewed sense of commitment and determination on the field.
Since joining Chiefs at the start of the season, Nabi has been under pressure to deliver results and restore the club to its former glory. Despite facing challenges in the league campaign, the Tunisian coach now has a chance to claim silverware with the team following their success in the Nedbank Cup.
After defeating Sundowns in the semifinals, Amakhosi have booked their place in the final of the prestigious tournament. The upcoming clash against arch-rivals Orlando Pirates at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban promises to be a thrilling encounter on 10 May.
