Nabi set for another challenge?

Former Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi has once again been linked with a return to the Botola Pro with pressure intensifying under Fadlu Davids at Raja Athletic Club.

Davids remains well respected for his tactical acumen work done with the club, as head coach and in his first stint as an assistant where they did the domestic double unbeaten, but sources have confirmed there’s been talks of Nabi now resurfacing – with the Tunisian linked with the club and rivals Wydad a couple of months ago.
