Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Edmilson Dove on his best coach: I think Nasredine Nabi and Benni McCarthy rank among the best coaches for me

Nasredine Nabi is one of the best coaches and his passion can be compared to that of Benni McCarthy.

This is how Edmilson Dove, former Cape Town City and Kaizer Chiefs defender, feels about the two coaches as he has worked with them.

Dove worked with Nabi and Chiefs while he worked with McCarthy at Cape Town City during his stints at those clubs.

“I feel like I’ve had so many coaches until I met Nabi. That guy is just a perfectionist, he is obsessed with perfection, and at training for him, everything has to be perfect,” Dove said on Soccer Beat.

“He is passionate about everything he does, you understand? He’s very demanding, and I think for the first time in my career, the only time we trained, I think three times, was under coach Nabi. He was just obsessed with things flowing in the right way; he’s the type of coach that doesn’t choose who he’s coming at if you’re doing something wrong.

“I can compare him with coach Benni McCarthy because when I was at Cape Town City FC, he was that type of a guy, if after the first half you’re having a bad game, he doesn’t have to wait for the game to finish and analyse videos, he will tell you straight. So that’s where they are similar.”

Dove is currently playing in Iraq for Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya.
