Chippa United assistant coach Thabo September has confirmed goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali will leave the club at the end of the season.
The Nigeria international shot-stopper has a lot of offers on his table following his heroics in the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast.
Speaking on Metro FM’s Sports Night Amplified show, September says they can't rule Nwabali's departure out, as he will not be staying on at the Chilli Boys.
“It’s not the right word to use, but of course I think there’s a high possibility of losing him. I don’t think it’s a fear [to lose him], that’s what the club is about,” said September.
“It’s about giving players a platform and opportunity – be it a player or coaches that have gone through this club, so it’s the circle of it.”
Nwabali has kept 11 clean sheets for Chippa in 25 games across all competitions, and September argues this has been a massive contribution in The Chilli Boys’ quest to try and finish in the top eight this season.
“He’s been huge for us. With the clean sheets that we’ve kept, I think you saw some of the games – especially if you look at the SuperSport [United] game, the saves he makes in the second half,” he noted.
“So, for us to have gotten that 2-0 there was a huge contribution from him.”
