Following Nasreddine Nabi's announcement that he will be leaving Moroccan club AS FAR, KickOff has the latest on the Tunisian's negotiations with Kaizer Chiefs.
According to reports in Morocco, Nabi announced that he will be leaving FAR at the conclusion of their season after he lost out on the Botola Pro title to Raja Casablanca, who were crowned champions last Friday on the final matchday.

This publication previously reported that the former Young Africans tactician had agreed a deal in principle to join Chiefs and that the negotiations were at an advanced stage, with only a small chance of the talks collapsing.
The Tunisian confirmed on Friday that an offer from South Africa was not the only one and that he was contemplating his future, per reports coming out of Morocco.
"The South African offer was not the only one but rather I received several offers," Nabi was quoted as saying after losing the title to Raja.
"But I will have a meeting with the team president to talk about this issue. I'm currently focusing on the cup semi-final match against Maghreb Fez."
What was believed to be delaying Amakhosi from sealing the deal with the 58-year-old mentor was the composition of his technical team and the compensation to FAR, where he was still contracted.
This website can now reveal that Nabi and Chiefs have finally agreed personal terms and the Tunisian has put pen to paper!
KickOff has it on good authority that the highly-rated coach dotted the i's and crossed the t's on a new contract with the Glamour Boys over the weekend and the only outstanding thing is just his announcement as the new head coach at Naturena.

Nabi, who will be with FAR until they finish their Moroccan Throne Cup campaign, where they are in the semi-finals, is expected to bring his own coaching staff, with sweeping changes in the current technical team and his announcement in the south of Johannesburg imminent.
Chiefs held talks with the 58-year-old tactician ahead of the 2023/24 season, but the deal fell through and now the Soweto giants have finally landed their preferred coach.
