Nigeria Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali Leaves Chippa United After Requesting Release

The Nigeria international said the split was a mutual decision with the chairman, not a reaction to losing the No. 1 role.

Overview

  • Chippa United announced that Nwabali formally asked to depart and the club granted his release.
  • Nwabali described the move as a difficult choice and characterized it as an understanding between himself and chairman Siviwe Mpengesi.
  • He refuted reports that he left because he was displaced by Dumisani Msibi, who had started and kept four straight clean sheets after AFCON.
  • The goalkeeper leaves after a four-year spell that included 76 appearances and 25 clean sheets for the Chilli Boys.
  • Media have linked him with Kaizer Chiefs and teams in Saudi Arabia, though no next club has been confirmed.
