Angolan defender Inacio Miguel will complete his move from Petro Luanda to Kaizer Chiefs with a feeling of relief following what happened last season.
Miguel has been identified as the 'rock' that Nasreddine Nabi needs at the back to tighten a defence that leaked 103 goals in the last three seasons.

Just last season, Chiefs conceded 35 goal, which explains why this has been an area of concern with goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari signed along with defenders Rushwin Dortley (left-footed defender) and Bongani Sam (left-back).
Nabi has decided he needs another central defender, and the club has agreed to a transfer of R4,5 million for the Angolan international.
The 28-year-old will arrive at Chiefs having spent the last 18 months at Petro.
While he won two league titles and the Angolan Cup during that time, Miguel wasn't happy with what happened last season under Alexandre Santos in matters relating to league minutes.
Out of a maximum of 28 league games in the Girabola, Miguel played less than half despite being available to play all season and scoring in the Angolan Cup final.
Less than 10 league starts as a central defender was never going to make Miguel happy, with Santos preferring Pedro Pinto as his first-choice centre-back.

According to those in Luanda, Miguel was unhappy about the lack of minutes and will be relieved that he now has another new opportunity at another big club.
The positive was that he played all but one of the 10 matches in the CAF Champions League and was also regularly in the Angolan Cup campaign.
