Mulovhedzi speaks about Nabi in the tweet below:

According to Soccer Laduma, Mulovhedzi said Nienov wanted to join the club, which has been linked with Egyptian-based Mzansi striker Fagrie Lakay.

Mulovhedzi said:

“Nienov agreed that he would work with him when the Chiefs move materialised, but to our surprise, Nabi decided to take another goalkeeping coach. Coach Nienov and his family are big fans of Kaizer Chiefs, and the coach told me that it’s his dream to work with Kaizer Chiefs one day.”

Fans agree with Nabi

Local football fans agreed with Nabi on social media, saying the Tunisian must make the hard decisions at the Soweto club.

Vibe Heist Khomola said times are changing at Chiefs:

"They [agents] were used to deal with Bobby to sell their average players, and Bobby would then sign on behalf of the Coach. Gone are those days; we have a coach in Nabi.”

Tian Lake agrees with Nabi:

“After the bad performance by our GK’s, I would definitely do the same if I was Nabi.”

Bongani Mbonambi agrees with Nabi:

“Leave our coach alone to apply his mind on who would fit his plans.”

Dboy Next-door Pepenene-slowPoison says Nabi has the right to make his own decisions:

“Nabi is our coach, so he has the right to choose whose better for chiefs because, at the end of the day, he will answer why the club is not performing.”

Moxie M Mos disagrees with the football agent:

“He is an agent, not the coach. He has to encourage his client to keep working hard; there is no time for favouritism.”
