Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has defended Inácio Miguel against claims that he lacks discipline.
Miguel was one of several key signings made by Amakhosi ahead of the season, as the club looked to bounce back from a disappointing 10th-place finish in the previous league campaign.
The Angolan international has made six appearances across all competitions this season but has accumulated several yellow cards, causing him to miss out on some important matches.

As the Soweto giants gear up to lock horns against Richards Bay on Wednesday, he is once again expected to watch from the sidelines due to suspension.
“I don’t think Miguel has a problem of discipline, he is a really good guy, a real captain, but you know he is new in South African football.
“He needs a bit of time to adjust and adapt, not only for football but the atmosphere,” The Tunisian coach said.
Nabi also mentioned that Miguel is someone who gives his best for the club, adding that he always sets great example.
“I agree with you, but I think he wants to give his maximum best at Kaizer Chiefs, and sometimes, it is too much, but he is a good guy, best personality, I love this guy but he has promised me more.
“He is an example of good disciple on and off the field, but he should maybe be more careful when playing,” Nabi concluded.
