Chippa United assistant coach reveals Nwabali might continue with PSL club

Stanley Nwabali was the hero for the Super Eagles of Nigeria in the AFCON 2023 semi-final against South Africa.

Chippa United assistant coach, Thabo September, has revealed Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali might end up staying in South Africa despite interest from clubs abroad, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 28-year-old came into prominence following an excellent campaign with Jose Peseiro’s team at the AFCON 2023 tournament, keeping four clean sheets in seven games, and helping Nigeria to second place in Ivory Coast.

The aftermath of such a brilliant tournament was offers from several clubs, in Africa and beyond the shores of the continent.

The former Enyimba man himself revealed he was willing to take his time to consider the best options for the future of his career.

With the South African Premier Soccer League scheduled to start after the International break next month, Chippa United assistant coach, Thabo September, revealed Nwabali might end up staying with the Chilli boys.

“We all want Stanley to go to the next level, forward to the bigger things. That’s why he plays so good, so that he can get a bigger move. From the management, the chairman, and us as coaches and players, we want that to happen, but at the moment, he’s here with us, and he’s a professional. He’s working for that moment, and when that moment happen. He’s a professional and is training well, and if that doesn’t happen, he’s looking forward to playing in the PSL for Chippa United, but me as a coach I don’t know if there’s anything on the table. I’m not going to be like everyone else; that’s gonna be like there’s something here and there. On my side, I don’t know anything that’s on the table, but all I want is good things for him, I want the best for Stanley because he deserves it, he has done well,” September said in an interview with FARPost.

Nwabali restored the faith of Nigerians regarding the goalkeeping department of the Super Eagles, resolving the doubts of fans after a period of uncertainty in that position.
