Kaizer Chiefs could be in for a rough season, if the analysis of head coach Nasreddine Nabi's capabilities by club legend Tsepo Masilela is anything to go by.
Chiefs management and supporters could be asking themselves if they have the right coach in Nabi, who is struggling for consistency and results at the club.
The Tunisian coach was expected to improve Amakhosi, after they finished a woeful tenth in the Betway Premiership last season.

However, under the 59-year-old mentor, nine games into the campaign, Chiefs still do not look like they have a structure and they are the only team yet to keep a clean sheet in the league.
Masilela has suggested that Nabi could be the kind of a coach who is only good when he has top quality players but cannot adapt when the environment and conditions are unfavourable.
"If you look at [Pep] Guardiola in his career, he always goes to the team that has budget and will give him what he wants, in terms of signings, if he wants a ball playing goalkeeper, you have to go and get him that," Masilela made comparisons on SoccerBeat YouTube Channel.

"But if you look at [Jose] Mourinho, he can go to Roma, survive, win a trophy with Roma, where they haven't won a trophy for years, now you look at the coaching philosophy, is Nabi more of a Pep, who wants to play offensively, front foot and you need certain players who would play that style and master it and bring results?
"It's a question I'm asking myself. Maybe they (Chiefs) have a coach who likes to play nice football, attacking, not too much on the defensive, tactical or being cautious. Because you can't tell me they are the only team that conceded in every game, it also speaks to the coach, it's not only the players. The coach has a hand in that," the former left-back added.
Chiefs have also already rotated three goalkeepers in nine league games.
