Nabi Aims for Nedbank Cup Glory with Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs’ head coach Nasreddine Nabi is focused on capturing the Nedbank Cup for the Amakhosi supporters as they prepare for the final against Orlando Pirates at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.

Currently sitting in ninth place in the Betway Premiership with 30 points, Nabi prioritizes clinching a victory in the domestic cup.

The last time the Chiefs lifted the Nedbank Cup was in 2014 under coach Stuart Baxter, who guided them to triumph over the Buccaneers at the same venue.

This historical backdrop fuels Nabi’s resolve to deliver a remarkable performance.

On the other hand, the Pirates are aiming to make history by winning the Nedbank Cup for the third consecutive time under coach Jose Riveiro.

The Pirates have already accomplished this in the MTN8 Cup, demonstrating their prowess in South African football.

As Amakhosi struggle in the league, the Nedbank Cup final presents a chance for redemption and a crucial trophy to uplift team spirit.

“We don’t want to say too much, but we will do our utmost to bring them [the fans] the Nedbank Cup,” Nabi stated.

“That’s what they desire, and we’ll do everything in our power to make them proud.”

Nabi’s dedication to winning emphasizes the significance of this match for the Amakhosi.

The result will decide whether the Amakhosi will finally end their trophy drought or continue their wait.
