At the end of the 2023/24 campaign, the 59-year-old decided to call time on his lone season in the Botola Pro Inwi with the Black Army after being successfully lured to South Africa by Kaizer Chiefs.

Nabi had an impressive spell in the Moroccan capital, winning 22 of the 30 league matches he took charge of.

Despite that, though, Raja Club Athletic, under Josef Zinnbauer, had an even better season as the Green Eagles went the whole season unbeaten, even beating FAR in the final of the Moroccan Throne Cup 2-1 in what was Nabi's final game in charge of the club.

To replace him, FAR decided to appoint Polish tactician Czeslaw Michniewicz as his successor.

While Michniewicz successfully qualified FAR for the CAF Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2006/07 season, the executives at the club were left uninspired by the team's performances in the domestic league.

After winning his first two league games of the campaign, the Polish tactician saw his charges go winless in his last three games and, as a consequence, the club decided to pull the plug on the 54-year-old's brief tenure.

FAR have now appointed a new manager, and it is Frenchman Hubert Velud.

The Villefranche-sur-Saone native is well-versed with football in Africa, having previously taken the reins at some prominent clubs and national teams on the continent.

Velud's previous job was with the Burkina Faso national team, while he has also worked with ES Setif and USM Alger, winning the Algerian top-flight title with both.
