They have had more coaches than wins this season, with current incumbent Vusumuzi Vilakazi having only been in charge for a few weeks since taking over from Luc Eymael, who only joined the club in August.
They had started the season with Sinethemba Badela, but he left after a fall-out with management, before Musa Nyatama was handed temporary charge.
Vilakazi did manage a goalless draw with Magesi last time out, but he faces a stern test of his credentials against Orlando Pirates after the international break on November 25.
Reflecting on his side’s season thus far, Nwabali said in the Citizen: “You know, I’m the captain, and what we’re experiencing is something that happens in football; it’s not something that has never happened before.
“Sometimes, in a season, you start badly; sometimes, you start well. I feel like this campaign has not been good for the team, but I’m giving the fans hope we will get better.”
