The imminent arrival of Nasreddine Nabi as Kaizer Chiefs’ new head coach has ignited excitement among fans and players alike, with young midfielder Samkelo Zwane expected to be one of the main beneficiaries of the Tunisian’s attacking philosophy.
Zwane, often compared to Manchester United’s rising star Kobbie Mainoo, has struggled for consistent game time under previous managers.
However, Nabi’s preference for a free-flowing, possession-based style of play could be the catalyst to unlock Zwane’s full potential.
Known for his tactical acumen and emphasis on attacking football, Nabi’s teams have consistently been among the highest-scoring in their respective leagues.
At AS FAR Rabat, Nabi’s side boasted the most potent attack in Morocco, a testament to his ability to create a system that encourages creativity and goal-scoring opportunities.
Zwane’s technical ability, vision, and passing range make him an ideal fit for Nabi’s preferred double-pivot system.
This formation would allow Zwane to dictate play from deep, utilize his passing skills to initiate attacks and contribute to the team’s overall offensive output.
Sources within the club suggest that Nabi has been impressed with Zwane’s potential and sees him as a key component in his plans for the upcoming season.
This has led to the scrapping of a proposed loan move for Zwane, with the midfielder now expected to play a significant role under the new regime.
Samkelo is a talented player with a lot of potential,” Nabi said in a recent interview. I believe that with the right guidance and system, he can become a top player for Kaizer Chiefs and for South Africa.
