Nkosingiphile Ngcobo Feels Pain Of Kaizer Chiefs' Inconsistent Season

Kaizer Chiefs' Nkosingiphile Ngcobo concedes their Betway Premiership slump has been frustrating.

The skilful midfielder added Amakhosi's mentality has also been challenged by losing games they are expected to win, while they seem to perform better when the odds are stacked against them.

Chiefs have lost 10 league games of 25 this season, where the arrival of Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi and his technical team, despite his constant stress on the 2024-2025 campaign being for rebuilding, raised hopes of more stability at long-suffering Amakhosi after nine seasons without silverware.

Amakhosi have been rooted in eighth place in the Premiership for weeks and a top half finish or even a better placing than last season's worst ever 10th are not certainties.

A lone ray of hope comes in reaching the Nedbank Cup final, where Chiefs can avoid going to a decade without a trophy if they win the blockbuster Soweto derby clash against Orlando Pirates at Moses Mabhida Stadium on May 10.
