Nabi holds a UEFA Pro License, which means he can coach in Africa and abroad. He holds both Tunisian and Belgian passports.

Nabi’s numerous achievements

The Tunisian has become quite the serial winner, something that will excite Chiefs supporters. GOAL reported that he won six trophies in two years at Young Africans.

Nabi helped guide Yanga to the Community Shield twice, the Tanzanian FA Cup twice, and the Tanzania Mainland League twice.

In his first season with the club, they also finished the league season unbeaten. Of their 30 matches, they won 22 and drew eight.

Nabi also led the side to the 2022/23 CAF Confederation Cup final, but they were beaten by USM Alger in the final.

Nabi’s impressive stint with FAR Rabat

The Tunisian has a chance to add more silverware to his collection once the season officially ends in Morocco. FAR Rabat are one point behind Raja Casablanca in the race for the Botola Pro 1 league title, with one game to go.

Nabi’s side will take on FUS Rabat in a capital derby, while Casablanca will take on MCO Oujda.

He could also win the Moroccan Throne Cup with the team, as they are set to compete in the tournament's semi-final. Rabat will face Maghreb AS de Fès in the second semi-final, looking to book their place in the final on July 6 against either Casablanca or MCO Oujda.
