Tunisian-Belgian coach Nasreddine Nabi has lost grip of the title in Morocco with only a game to play, leaving his club ASFAR (FAR Rabat) on the verge of giving away the league trophy.
ASFAR have enjoyed a comfortable seat at the top of the standings for most the Botola Pro League season, but a defeat and a draw in the last five games has now left them second with only a game to spare.

On Sunday, Nabi's ASFAR were held to a 2-2 draw by Moghreb Tetouan and with Raja Casablanca overcoming rivals Wydad Casablanca on the same day, there was a change at the top.
It is now Raja on 69 points and ASFAR on 68 ahead of the last day of fixtures, from which The Green Eagles just need a win to reclaim the title that they last won in 2020.
Raja have the former Orlando Pirates pair of Josef Zinnbauer as head coach and Fadlu Davids as assistant.
This means the prospect of a double three years in a row is now unlikely for Nabi, who enjoyed success with Young Africans in Tanzania.

Nabi has been linked with Chiefs since last year but now has a contract with the Moroccan club, who enjoy the support of the military.
Meanwhile, ASFAR are through to the semi-finals of the Throne Cup along with Raja Casablanca, Maghreb Fes and Mouloudia Oujda.
