Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi's future at the club could be on the line when they face free-scoring Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.
With Chiefs with in a 4-1 thrashing by SuperSport United a week ago, in Makabi Lilepo, Tashreeq Morris and Thabo Cele, question marks were raised on whether Nabi is capable of bringing consistent results.

His tactics were questioned by fans, who felt the squad is good enough to have run over SuperSport, who are full of young players.
Up next, the Soweto giants face a side that has scored 31 goals in the domestic scene in two months, recently hammering Orlando Pirates 4-1.
Could another big defeat be an alarm for Amakhosi to start looking for another coach for next season?
"Looking at the way things are going, Nabi has been cooking, but it looks like he's cooking with a two-plate stove. It's a slow cook. It's going to be tough for him against Sundowns," Manqoba Ngwenya said on SoccerBeat YouTube Channel.
"But I don't think Chiefs would want to chop and change coaches again. I think they need to stick out with Nabi, give him time. He must come up with a better recipe and more spices to try to carry on and cook.

"I think Chiefs would want to have a long-term strategy, believe in it and also get a buy-in from the supporters because nothing is built overnight. I think they need to give him an opportunity to work on this team and stick it out.
"(But) definitely, I don't think Saturday would be the day when things turn for Kaizer Chiefs. Sundowns are rampant now. It remains to be seen if Chiefs can stand for what Sundowns is bringing," added the ex-Brazilians star.
In the last decade, only Arthur Zwane has started a season and finished it at Naturena (and was dismissed in the off-season), as all their coaches since Steve Komphela have never started and finished at least one campaign at the side.
