Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune unhappy with Nasreddine Nabi's sacking

Former iconic goalkeeper of Kaizer Chiefs, Itumeleng Khune has expressed his displeasure about the sacking of coach Nasreddine Nabi.

The Tunisian trainer, who managed to end the Soweto giants’ ten-year trophy drought exited the club last Wednesday, bringing an end to his spell in Soweto.

His shock departure came after his side succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Sekhukhune United in the South African top-flight.

Meanwhile, Khune feels that Nabi deserved more time to continue his project after breaking the club’s 10-year trophy drought last season.

“Yeah, it’s unfortunate for what is happening at Kaizer Chiefs,” Khune said via Soccer Laduma. “Remember, for the past 10 years, Kaizer Chiefs hasn’t won silverware and the coach now came and broke that curse.

“So, I wish they could have given him more time because you can see he was building a well-oiled machine, so it’s just unfortunate that things didn’t go well for him,” Khune added.

Currently, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze have taken interim charge of the team and will lead them against Kabuscorp in the CAF Confederation Cup first preliminary round qualifier second leg this weekend.
