Former Orlando Pirates assistant coach Fadlu Davids expects to see Kaizer Chiefs playing more direct football and scoring a lot of goals under incoming head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
The Tunisian Nabi reportedly put pen to paper on Tuesday and agreed to become Kaizer Chiefs’ new coach.
Davids is currently the assistant coach of Raja Casablanca — under Josef Zinnbauer — who last week ended the Moroccan Botola Pro 1 without losing a game, pipping Nabi’s AS FAR Rabat by a single point in the process.
Speaking on Radio 2000 on Tuesday night, Davids had this to say about his rival: “His teams are more direct in terms of going forward and scoring goals. They were the highest scoring team in the league, but most of their goals came through set pieces and penalties.

Set piece threat
“They were a little bit more direct in their approach compared to our style that we played this season but very effective in getting the results. You can expect a team that moves forward and scores goals.
“On set pieces, they will be a big threat. I think it is similar to the [Ernst] Middendorp style during the season where they (Chiefs) missed out on winning the league. They scored a lot of goals through set pieces and I think you will see a similar type of football that is result-driven by scoring a lot of goals and winning matches.”
Nabi, who last week announced he would be leaving Moroccan outfit AS FAR at the end of the season, has been linked with the Soweto giants for the last year.
