Captain Stanley Nwabali confident of revival for bottom-club Chippa United

The Chilli Boys find themselves rock-bottom of the league standings with seven points from their opening 12 games.

They have had more coaches than wins this season, with current incumbent Vusumuzi Vilakazi having only been in charge for a few weeks since taking over from Luc Eymael, who only joined the club in August.

They had started the season with Sinethemba Badela, but he left after a fall-out with management, before Musa Nyatama was handed temporary charge.

Vilakazi did manage a goalless draw with Magesi last time out, but he faces a stern test of his credentials against Orlando Pirates after the international break on November 25.

Reflecting on his side's season thus far, Nwabali said in the Citizen: "You know, I'm the captain, and what we're experiencing is something that happens in football; it's not something that has never happened before.

"Sometimes, in a season, you start badly; sometimes, you start well. I feel like this campaign has not been good for the team, but I'm giving the fans hope we will get better."
