Despite Simba being eliminated from the Confederations Cup quarter-final stage, the fact is that they have made great strides towards the pinnacle of success in African football
Any success of a football team is coming in steps, Simba have played in the quarter-finals of the CAF competitions three times in the last four years
The two quarter-finals they played in the Champions League, Simba was losing away games by huge margin of goals but this time in the Confederations Cup we can say that Simba was unlucky in the penalty shootout but the chances of reaching the semi-finals were huge.
Simba have shown tremendous improvement on away games especially in the game against Pirates, with 10 players on the field for more than 30 minutes after Mugalu was shown a red card
Opponents will joke but the SImba fans are aware they are close to witnessing great success for their team
This year's tournament has provided a good lesson to Simba leadership where I believe the fruits will start to appear in the transfer window
Significant improvements will be made and next season Simba will return stronger in the CAF competitions
