FAR Rabat manager, Nasreddine Nabi, has suffered a huge setback amid links with the managerial position at South African club Kaizer Chiefs.

Nabi's side are now one point behind Raja Casablanca in the race for the 2023/2024 Botola Pro 1 title.

Moghreb Tetouan forced their opponents to a 2-2 draw, meaning the race for the prestigious title is no longer in FAR Rabat's hands.

Raja Casablanca, led by former Orlando Pirates boss Josef Zinnbauer, would claim the prize should they win their game on the final day.

Nabi's FAR Rabat had been in control of the race for months, but they have let it slip at the crucial moment.

Raja now top the table with 69 points, one more than their closest rivals, Rabat.

Soccer Laduma reports that Chiefs have been in talks with the Tunisian manager as they continue their search for a new head coach.

The club will also witness changes in other departments, including the playing team as well as management.

A source said:

"You know there are other things which both parties need to agree on and that is what was discussed today.
"I can’t say how far it went today but the deal is very close at the moment."

Pitso Mosimane set to leave Abha Club

Sports Brief earlier reported that Kaizer Chiefs target Pitso Mosimane ended his deal with Abha Club after the team were relegated from the Saudi Pro League this season after a final-day loss.

The South African manager couldn't meet his contract goal of keeping the Leaders of the South in the Saudi top flight, thanks to the result against already-relegated Al Hazm.

After the match, the former Mamelodi Sundowns mentor confirmed that his contract with the club had ended and added that he was seeking a new challenge.
