Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has sent a big message to his Amakhosi employers after a tough 1-1 draw with TS Galaxy in Mbombela on Monday.

NASREDDINE NABI SENDS PLEA TO HIS BOSSES

Ranga Chivaviro’s late equaliser against TS Galaxy in the last game rescued what would have been a disastrous second loss on the bounce. The point left Kaizer Chiefs in ninth place with 12 points. It was also a third draw, alongside three losses and three wins in nine games.

Speaking to the media in the post-match chat, Nabi echoed his wishes for an opportunity to sign higher quality players in the January transfer window.

“Again, we are missing opportunities to score,” the Kaizer Chiefs tactician said.

“And at the end, we, we tried everything to put more power, more risk forward, and fortunately, we got the point.

“But we feel that we are very, very far from the level of a team like Kaizer Chiefs, and we need to work hard, we need to strengthen the team but we’re gonna do everything we can for the future games.

“The perfect gift for Christmas time will be players that can strengthen the team,” the Kaizer Chiefs mentor concluded.
