Nabi Remains Defiant: Kaizer Chiefs' Continental Hopes Not Over

Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi is far from throwing in the towel on the club's CAF Confederation Cup aspirations, even after suffering a major setback at the hands of relegation-threatened Richards Bay FC this past Sunday.

The defeat, their ninth in the league this season, has put a significant dent in Amakhosis hopes of securing a top-three finish. With six points now separating them from third-place Stellenbosch and Chiefs having played one game more, the path to continental football next season has never seemed more distant.

Yet, despite the odds, Nabi is staying focused, refusing to publicly abandon his sides continental dreams. The Tunisian tactician, when asked about Chiefs' chances of qualifying for next season's CAF competitions, remained composed, acknowledging the tough reality but choosing to focus on the immediate challenges.

'In the situation we are in, we have to take it game by game,' Nabi said, his response measured.

'We will see where we are at the end of the season. For now, we cant afford to get distracted by the bigger picture.'
