At the end of the match, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mehdi Rabehi stated that he would not complete the task especially because he did not rise to obtain the medal.[6] However, it was agreed to end the season, especially since Kouki said that he refused to leave after he was close to winning the league title.
