Chiefs sliding into old ways

Four wins from their opening five league games had fans pouring back into the stadiums and some believing that Chiefs might actually launch a challenge this season to the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.

Since then, however, while the fans have continued to come through the gates, Chiefs have slipped into another maelstrom of mediocrity.

Head coach Nasreddine Nabi is in some kind of limbo, with Chiefs yet to confirm his departure, even though the Tunisian is back in his home country, and saying himself that he has left.
