Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi is stepping up with some major decisions as he reshapes the team.
The first significant move involves midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa.
Sibongiseni Mthethwa’s Departure from Kaizer Chiefs
Sibongiseni Mthethwa, who has been under the watchful eye of Nabi since July, appears to be on his way out of the club.
According to Sinethemba Makonco of iDiski Times, Nabi has decided that the 30-year-old midfielder doesn’t fit into his plans for the future.
Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly offered Mthethwa to Stellenbosch FC and AmaZulu FC.
However, neither club has shown interest in acquiring him.
The details from iDiski Times indicate that Stellenbosch FC declined an offer for a season-long loan, and discussions with AmaZulu FC also failed to reach an agreement.
What’s your take on Mthethwa’s skills and future?
