Local football fans reacted to Nurkovic's exit on social media by saying Kaizer Chiefs should swoop for the Serbian instead of pursuing a deal for Kenyan star Michael Olungo.

Mo Ntshongwana alerted Kaizer Chiefs:

"He's now a free agent; Chiefs must do the right thing."

"He would make a great impact at Chiefs, pity the management won't go for him."

Ganda Ganda saw the exit coming:

"It's not a surprise, Nurkovic has never spent two years at a single club. I think he has played for at least 15 clubs."

Ragnar Mugwena says Chiefs must respond:

"If Kaizer Jr doesn't take this guy back to Naturena for us, he doesn't want to win games this season."
