The countdown on how good Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi is has began, as question marks over his coaching abilities has emerged.
Chiefs started the season well with two consecutive wins in the Betway Premiership but since defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in the league, they have looked a completely different side.
Although Chiefs raised some hopes with a 4-0 thrashing of SuperSport United in the Carling Knockout, alarms started to ring again after the were hammered by the same scoreline by Sundowns in the same tournament in the quarter-finals.

Nabi has been at the Glamour Boys since pre-season and supporters and club legends have began to ask themselves whether the problem is not with the players but the coach.
The Soweto giants missed countless chances in a 2-2 draw against Royal AM but they were flat against Polokwane City in a 2-0 defeat.
The main theme of Chiefs under Nabi is missed chances and conceding every game.
According to former Amakhosi striker Pollen Ndlanya, the players are doing all they can but there's something missing.
"I'm so disappointed. You know Chiefs players, they are trying by all means, you can see the hard work they are putting in but there's something lacking there," Ndlanya said on Radio 2000's Game On.
"The combination, they can't combine. They are working hard but where? There's no link, nothing. At the back they are vulnerable, careless mistakes, there's no concentration."

'Trompies' went on and suggested that he does not think the quality of players is the issue but maybe training methods.
"I wouldn't say the players are not good enough. It all starts at training, I don't know how the coach wants them to train. Do they still need time to understand each other? I don't know. My opinion, when I look at Chiefs, they are not convincing," Ndlanya added.
Amakhosi will return to league action on Monday afternoon when they visit TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium.
