BOBBY MOTAUNG URGES NEW KAIZER CHIEFS COACH NASREDDINE NABI TO BE PATIENT

Bobby Motaung says there is no pressure for new Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi to secure trophies this season.

The Soweto giants have not won silverware in the past nine seasons.

They recently employed the former Young Africans and FAR Rabat head coach, along with his technical team, in a bid to turn the club’s fortunes around.

But despite their desire to return to winning ways, Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung has called for patience from the club’s expectant supporters.

He told iDiski Times: “Obviously expectations are always high at Chiefs.

“We want to win the league, we want to win trophies, we want to get back into Africa.

“So it’s a challenge, it’s a challenging time, not only for the coach, but also for us (as management) to make sure we have the right coach, we have the right players again, the mentality is right, it’s a collective.”

Motaung added: “What we need is positive energy from our supporters, we need that positive support because when you rebuild, you need to have that confidence and belief.

“For the new season, it’s more about a change that needed to be done.

“A new technical team, a new vision going forward for this legacy, to serve this legacy we speak of. But it calls for patience. It requires patience, it requires positivity and belief. I think we are confident that the changes we’re making now serve us and take us forward for the next five year plan.

“At the moment it’s to rebuild, restart. New coach, new team, younger players, this requires patience, passion and time. I think with the belief we will conquer.”
