Simba Sc today announced Patrick Rweyemamu as the Head of Simba Youth Programs while Selemani Matola was announced as the Head Coach of the U-17 and U-20 youth teams
Chief Executive of Simba Imani Kajula has said that Simba is determined to strengthen its youth teams believing that this is the procedure used by all successful teams
"If you look at the big teams in Africa, they have strong youth teams that later join the senior team. Today we are giving information on how to improve the youth teams, the first is the Head of Simba's Youth Programs, Patrick Rweyemamu"
em>"There is no better person to be the Head Coach of the Youth teams than Selemani Matola. This includes the 20-year-old and 17-year-old youth teams," said Kajula
Rweyemamu said this is an important step taken by Simba's leadership because they already had this procedure in the past and they were successful
"Football cannot continue without investing in young people. We have done this work before and the results are known. From 2008 to 2015 we have produced about 250 players. No Premier League teams up to the lower divisions have ever lacked players who have gone through Simba youth team"
"We are looking for talented, capable players, we are creating jobs and reducing the registration process because looking for something that you have not invested in has its cost"
"There is a generation that is being lost in football, so how do we prepare a new generation that will help Simba and the Nation as a whole," said Rweyemamu
And Coach Selemani Matola has congratulated the leaders of Simba for restoring the order of the youth teams that they had in the past and were successful
"First of all let's congratulate the Board and the leadership for seeing this, for us it is not something new. We did it and we were very successful. I believe now we will produce better things if possible more than the one at the beginning. I will not let Simba fans down, I will do what they want me to do in Youth Development," said Matola
