“FIFA only recognizes this one thing” Nasreddine Nabi comments on what his team has achieved this season.
It seems that the South African press are still asking Nasreddine Nabi questions about his debut season and not leaving him alone, and they are also asking Amakhosi's coach why they didn't finish in the top eight this season.
Speaking to SuperSport TV, the Tunisian coach said he would not be disappointed with what the team has achieved this season but would be proud of his team as a whole, adding:
While today's result may disappoint, it doesn't erase what this team has achieved. FIFA recognizes two types of champions - league winners and cup victors - and no one can diminish our accomplishment of ending a decade-long trophy drought.
This victory represents more than just breaking a dry spell; it's about securing official FIFA-recognized silverware. My discussions with the chairman last Friday confirmed our shared vision - we're already implementing a targeted recruitment strategy to strengthen the squad. While I won't disclose specific transfer details, our recruitment team is working meticulously to address the squad's needs.
The foundation has been laid. This cup triumph proves we're moving in the right direction, and with strategic reinforcements, we'll build on this success rather than let temporary setbacks define us.
Nasreddine Nabi told SuperSport TV.
