Chiefs’ instability threatens African ambition

KAIZER Chiefs’ defeat to Kabuscorp in the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round on Saturday night was not just about a narrow scoreline.

It was a stark reminder of how damaging instability on the touchline can be for a club that has spent years searching for direction.

The Angolan outfit, cheered on by their home crowd at the 11 November Stadium in Luanda, did what many sides have done in recent seasons — exposed Amakhosi at a moment of vulnerability.

Chiefs were without head coach Nasreddine Nabi, whose future at the club is now effectively over as discussions over his exit continue.

The Tunisian’s absence was glaring, not just tactically, but in the confidence and identity of the team on the pitch.

This constant chopping and changing of coaches is proving more harmful than helpful.

Chiefs, once defined by continuity and stability, have become the face of short-term planning.
