The future of Tanzania's Yanga FC coach Sam Timbe in the team appears uncertain as the club management is contemplating to terminate his contract.
This is owing to the team’s poor show in the Vodacom Premier League. A member of the club’s executive committee who declined to be named said the leadership was contemplating terminating its contract with the Ugandan tactician.
“We are extremely disappointed by the results under Timbe, and he’s aware of this since we have made our concern known to him,” the committee member who declined to be named, said.
Yanga, popularly known as Dar Young Africans have been far from impressive this season.The Mainland champions’ hopes to turn millions of shillings they spent on new signings into a silverware suffered a serious setback on Sunday when they lost 1-0 to Azam FC at the National Stadium.
“We spent lots of money in the exercise, but the team’s performance in the league this season is disappointing. They have been losing matches they could have won, it’s a shame,” he added.
When contacted for comment on the matter, Yanga chairman Lloyd Nchunga confirmed that Timbe’s future is not assured after poor results in as many matches. “He may not survive the heat if we lose our next match because both players and fans now believe he can’t manage to propel our team to higher heights,” he insisted.
Nchunga said there was no reason for Yanga to perform poorly in the league because Timbe has some of the best players at his disposal at the moment. The same Timbe was hailed as ‘super coach’ by some club members when Yanga clinched the Cecafa Kagame Cup trophy early this year.
