Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi says the Nedbank Cup final against Orlando Pirates at Moses Mabhida Stadium is a chance to save their dismal season and an almost decade-long drought.

Orlando Pirates coach Jose Riveiro praised his players for their consistent composure and resilience that saw them bounce back from a goal down to beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in their Soweto derby league outing on Saturday.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi was left fuming when asked why he is still the right guy to lead the club in what has been a dismal season – and it was only made worse by losing twice to Orlando Pirates.

Orlando Pirates still have a league mountain to climb in terms of overhauling Mamelodi Sundowns, but they made sure they stay in the fight with a hard-earned and well-deserved 2-1 win over rivals Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday.
