AS FAR Rabat has confirmed its unwavering support for head coach Hubert Velud, dismissing swirling rumors of a potential managerial change.
Club insiders emphasized that replacing Velud with a third coach in one season is not an option. The Frenchman, known for his tactical discipline, continues to enjoy the backing of the military club’s leadership.
Adding fuel to the fire, AS FAR’s officials have expressed disappointment with former coach Nacereddine Nabi, who reportedly negotiated his exit in March despite being provided with “optimal conditions” and management’s confidence.
Meanwhile, Nabi has emerged as a prime target for Raja Casablanca, who are intensifying efforts to lure the Tunisian tactician. Sources suggest Raja is revising its initial offer, previously rejected by Nabi, to secure his signature. However, a significant hurdle remains: his release clause with South African club Kaizer Chiefs, equating to a year’s salary.
Raja’s pursuit of Nabi highlights their urgency to revive fortunes, yet the substantial financial demands could delay any potential agreement. For now, Velud remains the steadfast figure steering AS FAR’s ambitions.
