Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi gets backing from Bafana boss Hugo Broos
2 months ago
Bafana Bafana manager Hugo Broos has sung the praises of new Kaizer Chiefs boss Nasreddine Nabi saying he has done a great job in resurrecting their form and the way they play.
Although Broos named just one Amakhosi player in his 23 man squad for the back-to-back internationals against Congo – defender Rushwin Dortley the man to get the nod – he was quick to suggest that Amakhosi players were starting to figure more in his deliberations.
Speaking to the media at the team announcement he said: “I am happy that Chiefs show they will come back again to where they were a few years ago.
“Chiefs have been disappointing in the last few years. I think the coach who’s there now is good. I know him. I think he can change it, and he’s beginning to change it already.
“Now when I see Chiefs playing, there’s a plan and a structure… He knows what he wants. He’s also a guy a little bit like me… he tells the things like they are.
“What I feel is there’s no friends politics anymore. You have to perform, then he’ll give you a place in the team, and that’s how it has to be.
“Let’s be honest, it’s not normal that a club like Chiefs is eighth or ninth in the league,” he said.
Broos then went on to comment on selection matters at champions Mamelodi Sundowns, saying he was surprised to see Teboho Mokoena and Khuliso Mudau being rested by Manqoba Mngqithi. “I am concerned yes, but what can I do? I have to respect the decision of the coach at Sundowns. He thinks that for the moment they’re not good enough, that’s a surprise for me,”
The Bafana Bafana team selected for the upcoming African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Congo is:
Keepers: Williams (Sundowns), Goss (SuperSport), Chaine (Pirates)
Defenders: Mobbie (SuperSport), Dortley (Chiefs), Sibisi, Sesane (both Pirates), Kekana, Modiba, Mudau (all Sundowns), Basadien (Stellenbosch)
Midfielders: Mokoena (Sundowns), Adams (Stellenbosch), Le Roux (Värnamo, Sweden), Mbatha (Pirates)
Forwards: Zwane, Rayners, Morena (all Sundowns), Maswanganyi, Mofokeng (both Pirates), Appollis (Polokwane), Mokwana (Esperance, Tunisia), Foster (Burnley, England).
