After Kaizer Chiefs had their worst season in the PSL era last campaign, Soccer Laduma reveals whether Nasreddine Nabi has improved the club with eight league games to go.
Amakhosi felt the need to make drastic technical changes, as a condition by Nabi, to bring his own technical team, with high expectations that he would make the club compete for honours.
However, with eight matches left in the league, Chiefs find themselves lying eighth in the standings with 29 points after a 2-0 defeat to Richards Bay.

Comparatively, at this stage last season, the Glamour Boys were lying seventh on the log with 30 points.
Which means under the Tunisian mentor, the Soweto giants are one point worse off than last season, which paints a perilous picture ahead of the final stretch.
At this point last season, exactly after 22 matches, Amakhosi had won eight matches and suffered eight defeats.
Currently, The Glamour Boys have also won eight matches but they lost nine games.
One of the biggest let down for Chiefs have been the inability to win matches in a row, something that was still an issue last term under interim coach Cavin Johnson.

After 22 games last season, Chiefs' most successive matches won was three, when they edged Moroka Swallows, Polokwane City and Richards Bay by 1-0 scorelines.
Currently, Amakhosi are yet to win at least three league games in a row and have won successive matches only once, a two-game winning streak at the beginning of the campaign when they beat Marumo Gallants 2-1 and thrashed AmaZulu 3-1.
Nabi could be holding on to his position at Chiefs by virtue of still being involved in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals, where the Glamour Boys are scheduled to meet the winner between Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United, in a rescheduled last 16 fixture yet to take place.
