Soon-to-be Kaizer Chiefs head coach Nasreddine Nabi could not hold back his anger as he confronted a journalist following his side's cup final loss.
The Tunisian tactician's current side AS FAR Rabat suffered a 2-1 defeat to Raja Club Athletic in the final of the Moroccan Throne Cup on Monday, in what was the coach's final game with the Moroccan team.

After the tie, the 58-year-old attended a post-match press conference, but ended up storming out of it before returning to angrily confront a journalist he was seemingly displeased with.
The coach is believed to have reprimanded the reporter for something he had said, with Goal's Austin Ditlhobolo reporting that Nabi was heard saying to the journalist: "Don't hold me responsible, I am a coach with advanced degrees in coaching, and you can't talk to me about changes in this way."

Speaking about the match itself, Nabi highlighted his side's failure to convert their chances, attributing this to the absence of key players on the night.
"The main reason for not scoring the chances we had was the absence of Hamza Igamane and Hatim Essaouabi, in addition to some players who were not at their normal level, which affected the offensive effectiveness, and this is football," the coach said, per Ditlhobolo.
"If you go back to the course of the match, you will see that the Royal Army created a number of scoring opportunities.
"If they had been scored, the result would have been different."
The Tunisian went on to thank his players and accepted the defeat "with great bitterness", before congratulating his opponents on their victory.
