It all started with Nabi himself confirming that he was in talks with Chiefs on Sunday and that a decision on his future would be made in 58 hours.

As the week continued, the reports started to look more and more unfavourable for Nabi and Chiefs, as it was said that the club had decided to snub him and go for a different candidate. That candidate was Mamelodi Sundowns’ assistant coach Manqoba Mngqithi. That would have come as quite a surprise because Mngqithi’s agent Mike Makaab had previously come out saying that the club were happy to keep his client at least until the end of his contract with them in 2024.

Then last Wednesday, the big shock hit the South African Football fraternity with Ntseki getting the position. Earlier this week, this publication reported that Nabi turned down Chiefs because they were unwilling to agree to his request to have his own coaching staff. According to FARPost the Tunisian is set to sign for recently crowned Moroccan champions AS Far Rabat.
