Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi has given winger Pule Mmodi a glowing endorsement following Amakhosi’s 3-1 victory over Chippa United in the Nedbank Cup Round of 16. Nabi, while acknowledging a couple of missed opportunities by Mmodi, was quick to highlight the winger’s significant contributions to the team.
“Mmodi’s performance on the field is incredible,” Nabi said via FARPost. “Yes, he might have missed a few easy chances, but as a winger, his primary job is to score. He is constantly a threat to the opposition and works tirelessly for the team. Even defensively, he tracks back and supports our efforts at the back. We truly believe he was the best player on the field, and his consistent work for the team has been invaluable.”
Nabi also credited Mmodi for his contributions during set-pieces and free-kicks, underscoring the winger’s importance to the squad’s overall game.
Siyethemba Sithebe Departs Richards Bay After Short Stint
Meanwhile, former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siyethemba Sithebe is on the lookout for a new team after leaving Richards Bay following a short-lived tenure. The 32-year-old midfielder had been with Richards Bay for just seven months, during which he made eight appearances. Sithebe’s departure reportedly followed a fallout with the coaching staff after a heated exchange in the dressing room.
Reflecting on his departure, Sithebe explained, “As a senior player, I spoke out in the dressing room after a loss, trying to offer my thoughts on some of the decisions being made by the coaches. I didn’t realize this would lead to such an outcome, but I felt it was important to speak up for the team.”
Sithebe’s stint with Richards Bay ended in a somewhat controversial manner, but he remains hopeful for his next move in the world of football.
