The highly-rated tactician could be set for a sensational return to the pinnacle of North African football as Egyptian heavyweights begin their search for a new leader. The former Masandawana tactician is currently navigating a complicated exit from the Libyan side following a challenging campaign.
Just four months into his North African adventure, the South African coach appears to be heading for an unexpected exit. The former Mamelodi Sundowns tactician, who has become one of the continent's most talked-about coaches, is reportedly on the verge of parting ways with Al Ittihad.
The drama surrounding the Tunisian head coach's resignation at Naturena has taken a fresh turn as former co-coach Khalil Ben Youssef has broken his silence on allegations of betrayal levelled by Nabi after he resigned.
The South African tactician has broken his silence on a whirlwind season that saw him traverse the North African landscape, moving from the heights of league glory in Algeria to a challenging conclusion in Libya. The former Downs mentor took to social media to evaluate his journey, emphasising the collective effort required to compete at the highest level of the African game.
In search of a new challenge, the South African tactician moved from Algeria to Libya. In Tripoli, he will be in charge of an iconic club in the North African country, where he is expected to guide them back to glory. The 39-year-old tactician was in charge of MC Alger for just eight months, and in that period, he lifted the Algerian Super Cup.
The South African coach has broken his silence on the shock decision to trade Algerian giants MC Alger for Libyan side Al Ittihad. The 39-year-old tactician, who leaves his former club at the top of the table, insists that his motivations were rooted in a long-term sporting project rather than a massive payday.
The Libyan giants had expressed their interest in the South African tactician, and finally, they have landed their man. The Premier Soccer League title winner has left the Algerian side mid-season following his appointment before the current campaign began. After leaving the Algiers-based outfit, with whom he won the Algerian Super Cup, he embraces a new challenge in Libya.
The 39-year-old found himself on the wrong side of the law a couple of days after parting ways with MC Alger, a team he had coached for eight months. He has been tipped to take over another top-tier outfit in Libya, with the announcement made late on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old former Mamelodi Sundowns and Wydad Athletic Club tactician is in trouble with the Algerian authorities, a couple of days after leaving the People's Club.

The North African side have moved quickly to replace the South African tactician who quit over the weekend. And, in a twist of fate rarely seen in football, it looks like the two coaches are basically 'swapping' clubs.
The former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns coach had been going through what appeared to be a difficult spell in Algeria. His time at the capital city club ends less than 24 hours after he guided them to a 2-0 league victory over Paradou AC that put them five points clear at the top of the Algerian Ligue 1 with several games in hand. The sudden exit adds another twist to what had already been a turbulent period for the tactician.
With Amakhosi's form on a downward spiral, much of the blame has focused on their co-coaches, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze. This has led to speculation around who is next for the Naturena hotseat. One of those names belongs to the 46-year-old Bosnian who is remembered in South Africa for his stint at TS Galaxy and his feud with Rhulani Mokwena.
The South African has been feeling the heat in Algeria, but he managed to inspire his side to victory on Saturday. However, he remains cautious and bent on keeping his players in line as his future remains uncertain at his club.
After a run of poor results left the South African tactician under immense pressure, his players have responded by registering a huge win. Mokwena has recently suffered two big setbacks after the Algiers-based side were knocked out of the CAF Champions League and the Algerian Cup. The win has come after it emerged a club from Libya was keen to appoint the Mzansi tactician as their head coach.
The South African tactician is feeling the heat as the Algiers-based side struggles. The Algerian league champions are winless in the last four games: a draw and three defeats, which puts the 38-year-old under immeasurable pressure. Eyes are now on him to see how quickly he will arrest the poor run and help the club return to winning ways.
The honeymoon period is officially over for the 39-year-old coach as his MC Alger side were dumped out of the cup competition by CR Belouizdad on Wednesday. The pressure is mounting on the ex-Mamelodi Sundowns tactician, who has faced criticism of his style of play and is being targeted by Libyan side Al-Ittihad to take their hotseat.
The Libyan heavyweights have confirmed that they are in the middle of a high-stakes pursuit to pry the 38-year-old away from MC Alger. Despite the South African tactician being currently employed in Algeria, the Tripoli-based side have identified him as the primary candidate to lead their ambitious sporting project following the departure of Khaled Ben Yahia.
