I am not nervous, don't provoke me, says Nabi after Derby loss

KAIZER Chiefs' coach Nasreddine Nabi wore a menacing look during his Soweto derby post-match conference, deep in the bowels of FNB Stadium.

He spent the better part of the press conference leaning against his chair with his arms folded, while he gazed over the room like a hawk. But for all his unpleasant looks from the start to finish that didn’t stop the media hounds from drilling him about the torrid time he's enduring at the club.

That feat summed up what Chiefs have been about this season they've sounded dangerous in talks, but they've not put their money where their mouth is.

Chiefs have promised to rebuild while winning under Nabi. But the 2-1 loss to Orlando Pirates have put their Betway Premiership campaign in jeopardy.

Amakhosi run the risk of missing out on the Top 8, as they are ninth on the log with 30 points, level with the eighth-placed Chippa United who have a game in hand. Should Chiefs miss out on the Top 8 that'd be for the second season running, something that Nabi and his employers will surely not be proud about.
