Raja Casablanca has ended Nassereddine Nabi’s contract without his agreement, and the coach is now going to FIFA to demand his unpaid money.
The Conflict Between Coach and Club
The relationship between Raja Casablanca and their former head coach has reached a breaking point.
Reports show that the club terminated the contract of the Tunisian manager unilaterally. This means the club made the choice by themselves.
They did not get a signed agreement from Nabi. Nabi states that he never signed any papers to end his job.
Because of this unexpected move, the coach is taking legal action. He plans to go straight to FIFA, the main governing body of world football.
He wants FIFA to help him get what he is owed. The Financial BreakdownFootball coaching at this level involves large sums of money.
Nabi had a lucrative deal with the Moroccan club.
Monthly Salary: Nabi earned 420,000 MAD (about $44,900 USD) every single month.
Total Demanded Amount: The coach is asking for 4.2 million MAD (about $449,000 USD) in unpaid money and compensation.
This large total covers his unpaid wages and the breach of his contract terms.
When a club fires a coach without a mutual agreement, they usually have to pay out the rest of the contract or face penalties.
Why Did the Split Happen?
Before the contract ended abruptly, trouble was brewing behind the scenes.
Disagreements on Signings: Nabi and the club’s sporting director did not agree on how to build the team.
Control Over Recruitment: The coach wanted a big say in which players joined the squad.
Management Interference: The sporting director wanted to handle all the transfers alone.
These arguments created heavy tension. Nabi felt that his vision for the team was blocked. He even flew back to Brussels as the situation got worse.
Fans are watching closely because they worry about the stability of the team.
What Happens Next?
The case now moves to football courts. FIFA will review the contract details from both sides. Raja Casablanca will need to explain why they terminated the deal.
Nabi will present his proof that he did not agree to the termination.If FIFA rules in favor of the coach, the club might face heavy fines or transfer bans until they pay the 4.2 million MAD.
This legal battle brings more stress to Raja Casablanca as they try to move forward with a new technical staff.
