With Kaizer Chiefs linked with several coaches since the season ended, an agent of one of the mentors has set the record straight on his client and reports about the Soweto giants.
For the past few weeks, Amakhosi have been linked with Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi, with several sources indicating that the 58-year-old tactician is closing in on a move to Naturena and that one of the conditions for him to seal the move includes being allowed to come with his own technical team.

One of the coaches who formed part of Nabi's technical team at Tanzanian giants Young Africans is Milton Nienov, who served as a goalkeeper trainer.
It has been widely reported that Nabi wants the experienced Brazilian to join him at Chiefs, for the move to happen, along with fitness trainer Helmi Gueldich who has since emerged as a target for Orlando Pirates.
When contacted for comment, prominent local football agent Ratshibvumo Mulovhedzi who represents Nienov revealed that there has been no talks with Chiefs from their side.
"I would like to set the record straight regarding the reports linking my client, coach Milton Nienov, with a move to Kaizer Chiefs. I have seen many reports on several social media platforms and in the media about the coach and I would like to confirm that we haven't had any talks about him joining Chiefs," Mulovhedzi.

"Yes, Milton is keen on a return to South Africa as he worked well at his previous clubs here and enjoyed it. He is a good coach with an impressive CV, having acquired some of his qualifications in Brazil and learned at Atlético de Madrid at some point," the intermediary said.
"It is true that we haven't renewed the contract at Young Africans and I am currently assessing options for him to come back to the DStv Premiership. From having worked at Polokwane City, Free State Stars and Golden Arrows, he fell in love with the country and his family also enjoyed living here," concluded Mulovhedzi.
