The incident occurred when a journalist questioned Nabi about his delayed substitutions during the match. The query triggered a heated verbal exchange, with Nabi visibly agitated and insisting that his technical decisions were not up for debate.
The confrontation escalated, leading to a back-and-forth exchange of criticisms between the Tunisian coach and the journalist. Frustrated and unwilling to continue, Nabi decided to leave the press conference room abruptly, refusing to answer any further questions from the media.
This second title loss had a significant impact on Nabi’s mood, as he failed to secure both the league championship and the Throne Cup, further intensifying his emotional response to the journalist’s probing questions.
Nabi’s abrupt departure underscores the intense pressures faced by football managers, especially after high-stakes matches.
