Kaizer Chiefs defender Rushwin Dortley has outlined the differences and similarities between working with head coach Nasreddine Nabi at Kaizer Chiefs and Hugo Broos at Bafana Bafana.
Dortley has had a meteoric rise since shining for the national side at the COSAFA Cup in July.
His performances earned him further call-ups to Bafana, not to mention a big move to Kaizer Chiefs.

At both club and national level, the 22-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet, getting the nod ahead of Thatayaone Ditlhokwe and Given Msimango at Chiefs.
He is also ahead of Nkosinathi Sibisi and Grant Kekana in the pecking order of centre-backs at Bafana.
Speaking to media ahead of Bafana's last 2025 AFCON qualifier match, the bulky defender revealed the secret behind his quick adaptation both at club and senior level.
"I've learned a lot from my club coach, Nasreddine Nabi," Dortley told journalists.
"His style of play is the way that I like to play and [with] coach Nabi, it's the exact same thing, so I've adapted quickly to his style of play.
"I think [with] coach Hugo Broos, it's a similar thing. The way they want to play, the way they want to do things [in the national team], is similar to Nabi," he continued.
Dortley will hope to once again have the faith of Broos when Bafana take on South Sudan at the DHL Stadium in Cape Town on Tuesday.
