Bonjour Monsier Nabi!
This serves as a notification that what you have done so far as head coach at Kaizer Chiefs doesn't meet the bare minimum.
Chiefs is a club that deserves better than this and it will not be surprising when the decision makers at the club start having doubts about you.

When you look at yourself in the mirror while reflecting on what you have done at Chiefs since taking over in July, I doubt you will be the proudest coach around.
For all the green leaves of justice still hanging when you repeat the chorus of building, rebuilding or whatever you are doing or trying to do at Chiefs, what matters at the end of the day are results.
You know very well that this is a result-driven job, and you are not delivering on that.
Under your guidance this season, Chiefs have turned into a punching bag for their opponents in the Betway Premiership.
Nabi, how do you explain losing 10 league games (plus five draws) out of the 23 you have played to date?
Losing (10) more than you are winning (8) at Chiefs is always bad.
Just to give you an idea of how bad losing so many games is, all teams that have already lost at least 10 league games this season have changed coaches – SuperSport United, Cape Town City, Richards Bay FC, Marumo Gallants, Magesi FC, and AmaZulu FC.
At Chiefs, it is a disgrace to lose so many matches because besides not even challenging for the league like is expected at this club, it means you have dropped the standards to the lowest from the days when this club would go for three seasons (90 games) and not lose 10 league games.
Ten defeats in 23 equates to an average of almost a loss in every second game, which is a shame and gives growing fears about the direction this team is moving.
With such a run of results, the road to the end of the season will be a long and lonely walk.
I listened to an interview done before the Golden Arrows game and heard Manqoba Mngqithi saying it is sad that Chiefs is now a team that depends on transitional play as he detailed to the dot how your team now plays.
Mngqithi had confidence written on his face that he will win this game, and it did happen that way.
This what Chiefs has become.
It is not helping matters that you are insisting on doing interviews via an interpreter, yet you speak decent English and communicate in that language with your players.
You can never win the empathy of the locals that way, especially with results not going your way.
This is giving reason for the critics to sharpen their swords and fuels questions about the composition of your technical team.
With so many defeats, you will have a true sense of what they mean when they say victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

Luckily, you have one huge escape route still available for you, which is the Nedbank Cup.
If you win that trophy, it will wipe off everything that has happened in the league this season.
With Chiefs in the semi-finals only two wins are needed – first against Mamelodi Sundowns and then either Orlando Pirates or Marumo Gallants in the final on May 10.
