Kaze: Why Yanga SC have registered consecutive draws in the league Goal 17/02/2021 Dennis Mabuka
Yanga SC coach Cedric Kaze has come out to explain why his team has posted two consecutive draws, results which are frustrating them in their pursuit to win the Mainland Premier League in this campaign.
The Jangwani giants have suffered two setbacks since the second round of the league resumed as they picked a 1-1 draw against Tanzania Prisons and followed it up with another 1-1 draw against Mbeya City last Saturday.
While the two draws did not change the team’s position at the top of the 18-team league table, they allowed the chasing pack to close in on them.
“Welcome at Timu ya Wanachi Nizar Khalfan, our new assistant head coach,” Yanga announced on Wednesday. “We are expecting so much from you.”
Mwambusi tendered his resignation just after Yanga won the Mapinduzi Cup against archrivals Simba SC in Zanzibar citing health issues.
Khalfan has been working with African Lyon before he was approached and finally appointed by
Timu ya Wananchi who have been in good condition since the 2020/21 season began. Yanga are unbeaten after playing 18 games and have started preparations for the second round of the league already.
The Tanzanian tactician will work under Burundian coach Cedric Kaze who was appointed to take charge of the team when Zlatko Krmpotic resigned just after 38 days at the helm.
“He stated that the doctor advised him to avoid an assignment that would force him to use a loud voice and even at the Mapinduzi Cup he spoke with a low voice.
“His request to leave was granted and you even know players at times get injured and they return and surely we believe even Mwambusi will return someday.”
Reports have linked Yanga with a move to approach and probably appoint African Lyon FC’s coach Nizar Khalfan in place of Mwambusi.
The Tanzanian arrived at Yanga before the 2019/20 season before the appointment of Luc Eymael who later left the club unceremoniously in July 2020.
