Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs exit leaves more questions than answers
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs parted ways with Tunisian tactician Nasreddine Nabi after revelations about his coaching qualifications. Chiefs fans around South Africa have mentioned Eric Tinkler as a prime candidate, and it’s not hard to see why.
Now at the helm of an impressive and improving Sekhukune side, former Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler is seemingly the first choice of several Chiefs fans across Mzansi.
The 55-year-old enjoyed a stellar playing career, winning AFCON in 1996 and collecting 55 caps for his country.
At club level, he enjoyed playing stints in Italy, Portugal and England.
His head-coaching career spans 10 years after starting with Orlando Pirates back in 2015.
He’s also collected silverware as a boss with SuperSport and City.
In 18 matches managing Babina Noko, he’s picked up a stellar average of 2.00 points per game. This season, Tinkler’s men have started in stunning fashion, unbeaten in eight matches with six wins and two draws.
