Nasreddine Nabi will report back to his new employers' address in the south of Johannesburg with concerns after what happened on Sunday in Bloemfontein.
Kaizer Chiefs were clobbered 4-0 by Young Africans in the pre-season Toyota Cup in what was Nabi's first game in front of the public since the team returned from their pre-season camp in Turkey.

However, for all that happened on Sunday and all else that he has found at the club in relation to the quality of the squad, the plus is that there is still time.
Chiefs will not play any official football until September 14 when the Betway Premiership starts with Amakhosi visiting Marumo Gallants.
The transfer window will then close on September 20, after which their proposed fixtures list has them playing Stellenbosch FC (Sept 22), AmaZulu FC (September 25), Mamelodi Sundowns (September 28) and SuperSport United (October 26).
Nabi will take solace in that he will still have another six weeks to continue with the process of fixing, while also assessing what to get from the transfer market.
If the 58-year-old has targets from other clubs, then he must bring them in before the September 20 deadline, while with free agents as Gaston Sirino, they can be registered at any time.
The delayed start of the domestic league will give Chiefs a minimum of 10 weeks from when they reported back to training towards the end of June.
That will give Nabi the longest ever time that any coach has ever needed in a new job before his first match.
Chiefs have so far confirmed the signings of Fiacre Ntwari and Rushwin Dortley, leaving enough space for further new additions.
The goalkeeping department appears now settled with the addition of Ntwari, but there are still worries at the back, where Given Msimango and Thatayaone Ditlhokwe appear the best options.
In midfield, there are a lot of players, but many of them need to stand up and be counted instead of finding comfort in being mere squad players.

The biggest concern is up front, where there is the trio of Ranga Chivaviro, Ashley Du Preez and Christian Saile Basomboli.
For now, the next six weeks will provide all the time that Nabi needs in the world with this Chiefs project.
