Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Humphrey Mlwane believes it would be suicidal for the club to force Arthur Zwane and Nasreddine Nabi to work together as part of a new-look technical team.
Several reports claim that Chiefs are in negotiations in exploring several options to overhaul their current technical team.

One option being proposed is for the duo to work together with Nabi brought in to add experience to Zwane's technical team.
"That won't work, that'd be a disaster," Mlwane tells KickOff.
"Remember Arthur has ambitions of being a head coach. Forcing them to work together will bring conflict.
"Nabi has his own strategy and Arthur has his.
"Once you become a head coach, it's difficult to accept a demotion and be an assistant again. That's my opinion.
"I had such an experience as a player where we could see a coach and an assistant were not seeing eye to eye, where an assistant coach would tell you something different from the head coach.
"Remember a foreigner and a local will always have a different way of thinking. Locals will always tell players to play their own game.
"For the past six years, Chiefs were coached by local coaches, and I don't know if this Kaizer Chiefs way or culture they were trying to introduce did produce any results in those six years.
"If Chiefs want a local assistant coach, then they must get somebody else, not Arthur.
"Sometimes even the players will disrespect Arthur, they will say what can he tell us when he failed? Players are naughty.
"The best thing for Arthur is to go back to the development structures or join another team."
