Kaizer Chiefs chase Michael

Kingsley Michael is still only 25, but the Nigerian midfield orchestrator has already been around the block. His club career has seen him enjoy stints across Europe. First in Italy with Bologna, Perugia, Cremonese and Reggina. Then, spells with SV Ried and DSV Leoben in Austria. Now he’s on the books of Monastir in Tunisia. Surprisingly, he’s only earned one cap for Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

Nabi unpacks the season

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi isn’t dwelling on the club’s failure to finish inside the top eight places.

“I’m not going to be influenced by today’s result and undermine what the team has won this season,” he told SuperSport TV.

“FIFA recognises two champions, the one who wins the league and the one who wins the cup.

“I think nobody can undermine what the team has done this season, they won a cup when we were 10 years without a trophy. But for me it’s not even about the 10 years, for me it’s winning an official title from FIFA,” Nabi added.

 “On Friday, we had a conversation with the chairman, and we know exactly what needs to be done in terms of players,” he said as per FARPost.

“I will not say how many or which kind of players we need, but the recruitment department is working very hard, and everyone knows the needs for the team.
