Nasreddine Nabi's Uncertain Future at Raja Casablanca
In a surprising turn of events, Nasreddine Nabi, the head coach of Raja Casablanca, has reportedly threatened to resign just a month before the commencement of the Moroccan football season. Nabi, who took over the managerial role at Raja in June after a hiatus following his departure from Kaizer Chiefs in October 2025, now finds himself in a precarious situation as internal tensions rise within the club.
During his brief tenure, Nabi struggled to lead Raja to victory in the Botola Pro league, finishing in an unsatisfactory position. His inability to secure the title has not only disappointed fans but has also intensified scrutiny regarding his future at the club. The upcoming season presents a significant challenge as Raja is set to face CAF Champions League finalists AS FAR Rabat on September 24, raising questions about whether Nabi will still be at the helm by then.
Internal Conflicts and Club Management's Response
Reports from Moroccan media outlet Lesiteinfo reveal that Nabi has been in conflict with sporting director Rogerio Matias, leading to a breakdown in communication between the two. This discord has prompted Nabi to consider stepping down from his position, a move that would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the club and its supporters. In light of the escalating tensions, club management is reportedly intervening to mediate the situation and restore harmony as they prepare for the new season.
Matias, who was appointed as sporting director only in July, has been tasked with overseeing football operations. However, it appears that his relationship with Nabi is fraught with challenges, complicating the club's preparations for the upcoming campaign. As Raja Casablanca aims to regain its competitive edge, the resolution of these internal conflicts will be crucial for the team's success.
