Nomvethe backs Nasreddine Nabi
In an interview with the media, Nomvethe stood behind Nabi and advised his former club to give the Tunisian mentor a fair chance to do his job next season.
“Coach Nabi deserves a fair chance, just like every other coach,” said former Bafana Bafana striker Siyabonga Nomvethe.
“You can’t expect miracles in one season, sometimes it takes time for everything to come together properly.”
“They need to allow him to do his job without piling on pressure. Yes, we all know the expectations, league titles, cup victories, and everything else, but he’s already started contributing to the trophy cabinet.”
“Let’s hope the upcoming season brings even more success to the team and the coach.”
Nomvethe is hopeful that the Glamour Boys board will secure quality signings for Nabi to strengthen the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
"I'm really hoping they'll make some moves in the transfer market," Nomvethe added.
"But budgeting at this level isn't easy, it takes millions to bring in the right players. Still, I'm optimistic that we'll see some positive changes before the new season kicks off."
Coach Nasreddine Nabi has now rejoined Kaizer Chiefs for their pre-season preparations.
