Former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs captain Lucas Radebe has made a plea to the Amakhosi management regarding head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
The Tunisian-Belgian's future is under the spotlight after a disastrous league campaign that saw the Soweto giants finish ninth on the Betay Premiership log table.

Club legend Radebe, though, believes Nabi's triumph in the Nedbank Cup that ended Chiefs' 10-year-trophy drought is enough to warrant a new season.
"It’s a pity that we judge coaches by results, and he wasn't great in the league but got us what we haven't had in the longest time, which is a trophy," said Radebe. "I think Nabi deserves another season so that we can see where he is heading."
"As he gave Nabi the benefit of doubt, Radebe added it is important for the club to recruit quality players if they want to turn their fortunes around and be consistent.
"For him to bring consistency and the team to get better in the league so that we challenge for honours and qualify for continental football, the club must invest in players.

"We are hungry for success, and Nabi needs the necessary support from the club. This is a big brand on the continent, and support for the coach when it comes to recruiting players is crucial.
"They won the Nedbank Cup and this could be a great platform on which to build a team that will consistently win trophies and compete for league honours."
