Some of Simba's players are on the brink of their contracts expiring at the end of the season
Players Saido Ntibazonkiza, Clatous Chama and Kibu and Kibu Denis are among those players while there is information that the management has started negotiations to renew their contracts
However, the exercise has been suspended until the end of the season pending the report of coach Abdelhak Benchikha
"Let me assure you that until now not a single player has had his contract extended and the negotiations have been stopped due to two to three main reasons. One, we are waiting for the coach's report, secondly this pressure has disturbed us a lot from the leaders to the players themselves so we are waiting for this wind to pass first ," one of the club leaders was quoted by Mwanaspoti
"However, there is a big deal that will happen after the end of the season, so we want all that to be done together, you don't give a new contract to a player and then when the league ends you don't need him and you have to remove him, we didn't want this"
Among the Simba players who are out of contract at the end of this season is John Bocco, who is currently coaching the team's youth team, as well as defender Shomari Kapombe, Luis Miquissone, Sadio Kanoute and Kennedy Juma.
Other information from within Simba states that Simba is ready to extend new contracts to Chama, Kibu, Kapombe, Kanoute and Kennedy Juma if they agree well, but has postponed it after head coach Abdelhack Benchikha told them he wants new players to work with for the season next.
It is said that Benchikha wants to build a new Simba that will have a big change in players and in terms of playing, so it is said that this is the main reason why the talks with the stars have been 'stopped' at the moment regardless of whether it is those whose contracts are expiring or those who were required to improve their contracts.
