Former Kaizer Chiefs Itumeleng Khune has cited inconsistency for the club’s struggle in the ongoing South African campaign.
His comment comes following Kaizer Chief’s 2-1 defeat to Orlando Pirates in the Soweto derby on Saturday.
Kaizer Chiefs are currently 9th on the South African League standings, accumulating 30 points from 26 matches.
Speaking in an interview, Khune expressed his displeasure about his former outfit performance, while attributing the club’s struggle to inconsistency.
“I think my answer will be simple on that, Remember coach Jose [Riveiro] has been with Pirates for three seasons and they have created that family bond with players. He has given them an opportunity; he’s been giving them regular game-time. Coach Nabi has now just arrived at the club and obviously is still trying to know the players better, find good combinations”.
“There’s been a level of inconsistency of the youngsters at Kaizer Chiefs because of that reason that the coach is new and he wants to get the right combinations. Remember at the start of the season, you would see Mduduzi [Shabalala] playing regularly. Kaizer Chiefs fans relied a lot on him, and he scored goals, important goals. [Mfundo] Vilakazi came on as a sub a lot of times just to close down the game. You had your Samkelo Zwane, so all players at Kaizer Chiefs, especially the young ones, they’ve been inconsistent because coach is trying different combinations” he told iDiskitimes.com.
