Kaizer Chiefs-linked coach Nasreddine Nabi has officially bid a heartfelt farewell to AS FAR Rabat as he reportedly embarks on his journey to Soweto.
It is widely believed the Tunisian tactician's move to the South African club is all but sealed, although Amakhosi themselves are yet to have made an official announcement about his appointment.

The 58-year-old, however, has officially confirmed that he will be departing the side he initially took over at the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign.
Things did not go exactly to plan on the pitch with FAR, with the side just missing out on clinching the Botola Pro 1 league, finishing in second place and losing out to Raja Club Athletic by just one point.
More recently, Nabi and the team suffered a heart-breaking 2-1 defeat to the same team in the final of the Moroccan Throne Cup.
Following that match, the Tunisian tactician stormed out of a press conference after confronting a journalist who is believed to have said something that ruffled his feathers.

The coach, however, seemingly wanted to leave the club on a positive note, and took to social media to pen an endearing letter to everyone involved at FAR, ranging from board members to the supporters.
"Dear soldiers," he wrote. "Out of respect for all the support you have given me, I must clarify the situation. It is with mixed feelings that I announce my journey as coach of AS FAR has come to an end.
"After a difficult season of hard work and intense moments shared together, it is time for me to say goodbye.
"I want to express my deep gratitude to all the supporters who have been a constant source of motivation and support. Your unwavering support, encouragement, and passion for the club have been incredibly valuable throughout my time here.
"Know that I gave my all, despite the constraints, along with the technical staff and players, for this great club to finish the season with a title. The reality on the field decided otherwise, and as hard as it may be, we must accept it.
"To the players, the technical staff, and the entire administrative team, thank you for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment.
"I thank General Haramou for his support, especially during difficult times, as well as President Mr. Ayoubi and Colonel Major Mr. Malek for the trust they placed in me.
"I leave with memories and a deep affection for the club and its supporters. I am convinced that AS FAR will continue to grow, and the club will remain in my heart.
"Finally, I thank the Moroccan people for their hospitality and respect. No matter the city, I have always been well received and respected, and I thank you for that.
"As a man of principle, I fear God. Out of respect for the supporters, I will not restrict the comments.
"I understand that some fans may take this news badly and may turn to insults, but know that I leave with deep respect towards all of you. This is my only statement on the subject, and therefore, the statements seen in the media are false."
