Nasreddine Nabi's season with AS FAR Rabat ended in heartbreak after they suffered a 2-1 defeat in the Moroccan Throne Cup final.

Nabi's team was beaten by league champions, Raja Casablanca, who secured the trophy weeks after beating AS FAR to the league title by a point.

Assistant coach, Fernando Da Cruz and goalkeeper coach, Ilyes Mzoughi, are in South Africa, meaning an announcement is imminent, according to Far Post.

Nabi confirms AS FAR exit

The former Young Africans coach apologised to fans for a season that promised so much but ended in heartbreak.

"I want to apologise to the fans of ASFAR for failing in a short space of time," he said via iDiski Times. "We were not able to make them happy by coming second. This is football.

"It was a very strong season for the players. I was asking a lot from them, and perhaps they were tired."

He said he will leave his role after the defeat to Raja.

"It is better for another coach to come with new ideas."

Nabi is seen as the man who will take the Glamour Boys back on top after nearly a decade of underachievement. The club finished 10th in the league last season, 37 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns.

Amakhosi have hired and fired many coaches in the last decade, and it seems they are ready for another reset. Nabi has an impressive resume and will be keen to make an immediate impact at Naturena.

Kaizer Chiefs fans warned

Sports Brief earlier reported on Sergio Dos Santos warning Kaizer Chiefs fans about high expectations with a new head coach.

The former boss of the Soweto giants said the new coach will need time to settle and build a team that can challenge for trophies.
