What did Gonzalez say?
Simba CEO Barbara Gonzalez, who was at hand to receive the token has thanked the betting firm for the gesture and promised the team will take a different approach to go past the quarter-final stage next season.

“We have learnt a lot from the tournament this season, we have picked a lot of lessons and we know they will help us to do even better when we participate again in the competition next season,” Barbara told reporters during the function.
In a shocking audio interview, Gakumba, who is the agent of Rwandese striker Meddie Kagere, has claimed Simba’s French tactician should squarely be held accountable for the exit owing to his decision not to start Kagere alongside Bocco.
“Let me tell you writers of football, especially those asking me why Meddie [Kagere] did not play in the game against Kaizer [Chiefs] at Mkapa Stadium, and I have to say Kagere did not play because the coach did not want him to play, the coach is the one with powers to decide which player plays, who does not,” Gakumba explained in the recorded audio.
