Simba head coach Abdelhak Benchikha yesterday led the Reds of Msimbazi in the fourth game since he was handed the bags left by Robertinho Oliveira
The 2-0 victory against Wydad has shown why the Simba bosses had to make a long move to bring Benchikha Msimbazi
When you talk about the best coaches in Africa, Benchikha is in the top three and these are his jobs now
He is a coach who is technically sound, look at what he did in the last 20 minutes when Simba was leading 2-0
To ensure his team gets a clean sheet in the game, Benchikha made a change that many did not expect
Willy Onana was replaced by Israel Mwenda, Clatous Chama was replaced by captain John Bocco
He also brought in Kennedy Juma along with David Kameta and Abdallah Khamis which was their first competitive game this season
These changes strengthened Simba's wall and it was no longer easy for Wydad to score even a tear-jerking goal
The lion has changed a lot
Before the arrival of Benchikha, Simba was allowing average goals in every game, but in four matches, Simba has only allowed one goal
In his first game against Jwaneng Galaxy, the result was 0-0, Simba lost 1-0 in the second game
This was followed by a 3-0 victory against Kagera Sugar in the premier league and yesterday it was a 2-0 victory against Wydad that put Simba in a good position to reach the quarter finals
This is the coach that Nanasimba has every reason to have faith in because good signs have been seen early
