Head coach Nasreddine Nabi has responded to reports of a possible exit from Kaizer Chiefs at the end of the season, fresh off bringing Nedbank Cup joy to Naturena.
Nabi successfully guided Chiefs to their first piece of silverware in 10 years with a 2-1 win over rivals Orlando Pirates at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Saturday.

Local reports have suggested that despite that feat, the club hierarchy has decided against keeping the Tunisian-Belgian beyond the season, after a disastrous league campaign that sees them battling to secure a Top Eight spot.
Speaking to 947's MSW, Nabi said he was surprised by the reports, although he did little to offer assurance that he and the club's management are on the same page.
"I'm very surprised by this rumour and question, but because I am very concentrated on the two games that are coming. We need to play the games with a 'final' attitude because we have to finish in the Top Eight.
"We are very concentrated on the remaining two games, and we want our players to be concentrated as well, to have a positive attitude for the remaining two games because it's very important. I don't want to lose the momentum that winning the cup has created.
"I still have a contract and I am not worried about that (reports), and I don't think that it is the best moment to talk about that.
"Kaizer Chiefs is my family. If they want me in the position, I am here. If not, then no problem. I don't know, but right now I have the responsibility, and I am focused on my job.

"You know, normally after you win a final, you have a recovery day for the players, but the players were at training by 09:00 because we are serious. We have a responsibility, two tough games," explained Nabi.
Chiefs' Nedbank Cup win guarantees them a spot in next season's CAF Confederation Cup, but they are winless in their last seven league matches and will need to improve on that form to be part of next season's MTN8.
