Nasreddine Nabi takes his dispute with Raja Casablanca to FIFA

This update focuses on Nasreddine Nabi dispute. The dispute between Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi and Raja Casablanca has escalated to FIFA, with the former manager seeking around 3.2 million dirhams from the club.

Nasreddine Nabi dispute with Raja reaches FIFA

According to the information available, Nasreddine Nabi’s lawyer has filed a complaint with the international football body, challenging the termination of his contract with Raja Casablanca. He is demanding compensation that would cover the remaining duration of his agreement, estimated at close to 3.2 million dirhams.

The contract was supposed to run until June. Nabi argues that the end of his tenure was not the result of a mutual agreement and that the club must honour its full financial commitments until the original expiry date.

A unilateral decision and a damaged career path

Sources familiar with the case say the former Raja coach contests the way the separation was handled. He reportedly learned of the decision through a court officer, a procedure he considers harmful to his professional reputation.

Nasreddine Nabi had already taken part in the team’s pre-season preparations before being told his services were no longer required. He believes this timing left him at a disadvantage on the coaching market, in Morocco and abroad, as many clubs had already finalized their technical staff.

For the Tunisian coach, payment of his September and October salaries does not cover the damage he claims to have suffered. This is why he is demanding compensation for the entire remaining period of the contract.

How Raja Casablanca is handling the case

Raja Casablanca recently announced the end of Nasreddine Nabi’s tenure in an official statement. The club stressed that the decision had been taken in full compliance with the contractual provisions binding both parties.

The procedure now before FIFA will have to clarify:

• whether the termination complied with the applicable legal and contractual framework,
• what financial rights the former coach may claim,
• and what compensation Raja Casablanca could be required to pay.

The Casablanca side, one of the clubs most closely followed by Moroccans at home and across the world, now faces a sensitive sporting and financial case on the international stage.

What it means for fans and professionals abroad

For Raja supporters in Morocco and within the global Moroccan community, this case highlights how contractual stability is becoming crucial in the management of Moroccan clubs.

FIFA’s decisions in such disputes often serve as a benchmark for future negotiations between clubs and coaches. The outcome of the Nasreddine Nabi dispute could influence how coaching contracts are drafted and terminated in Morocco in the coming years.

For Moroccans living abroad who follow the Botola Pro to stay connected with home, this case is also about governance and respect for commitments in Moroccan football, a key part of the country’s image and soft power.

While Raja continues its season with a new technical staff, the legal process in Zurich is still underway. No ruling has been issued yet, and both sides will have to set out their arguments before FIFA reaches a decision.
