The former chairman of Simba Sc, Ismail Aden Rage has advised the leaders of the team not to worry about bringing in a new foreign coach, instead they should trust the current Acting Head Coach Juma Mgunda and officially entrust the team as the head coach
Rage has said that Mgunda has the ability to do great things and achieve the club's goals
Rage said this after the League ended with Simba finishing in third place and falling to the Confederations Cup in Africa where they were not their goals this season
"Simba has been third in the league despite entering the quarter-finals five times in the African Championship and if you look at our colleagues like Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, they don't know where they are"
"I advise the Lions not to panic or argue with their leaders, listen to the coach who I trust because he has a greater career than any Tanzanian coach"
"Simba should imitate as they do in North Africa, they use their native coaches. The record that Simba has for success in 1974, as a player we went to the semi-finals with Coach Paul West Bivaha, the host of Iringa"
"King Kibaden in 1993 brought Simba to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations. As Simba's leadership they will respect Mgunda who has all the qualities as a player and coach, he speaks Kiswahili and English fluently so his communication skills with the players are nice and easy"
"The development of Simba and Yanga is not always only in the domestic league. Think of Yanga after 25 years they have entered the CAFCL quarter-finals once, you cannot compare with Simba who has entered five times. Because it has finished third in the league, it is not good to crush Simba and despise it", said Mzee Rage
