Meknes – Raja Club Athletic has decided to part ways with Tunisian head coach Nasreddine Nabi.
President Jawad Ziyat delivered the termination news to Nabi’s agent following advice from Sporting Director Mathias.
The decision follows weeks of growing friction between the coaching staff and the sporting director. With key differences over squad management unresolved, Raja ultimately opted to part ways with Nabi.
Raja management is now looking to reorganize its technical staff and plan for the future. However, the club has yet to release an official announcement confirming the manager’s departure.
Nabi clarified that his disagreements with the sporting director were purely professional, stemming from contrasting visions for the team.
Speaking to SNRTnews, the Tunisian coach noted that he and the director simply did not align on recruitment strategies and overall management policies.
“I don’t see eye to eye with Raja’s sporting director. I disagree with his overall policy and how he handles transfers,” Nabi said.
The former AS FAR manager revealed that he had urged club executives to bring in top-tier talent.
However, the players signed by the club did not match his needs for the team.
“I asked management to recruit high-caliber talent, but they ultimately signed players I had no use for,” he added.
Nabi also cited the situation surrounding defender Badr Benoun as a major tipping point, saying the club’s handling of the player widened the rift between him and the sporting director.
The manager explained that club executives had considered parting ways with the Moroccan defender.
However, Nabi pushed to keep him, citing the veteran’s deep experience and strong commitment to Raja.
Despite the premature split, the Tunisian manager departs with mutual respect intact, leaving the club’s board to restructure its technical staff.
