Acting Simba Sc Information Officer Ezekiel Kamwaga has assured members and fans of Simba about reports of coach Didier Gomes being prohibited from sitting on the bench for the CAF Champions League
Kamwaga said Simba had information in advance about the changes made by CAF so they were prepared
"Let me tell Simba fans, they will see coach Gomes on the bench continue with his duties. We knew in advance that the changes made, to us are not a surprise"
"Gomes continues with his responsibilities to prepare the squad for the upcoming championship," said Kamwaga
According to the new requirements issued by the CAF regarding the coaches who should lead the teams participating in the Champions League and Confederations Cup, they must have a CAF license A or UEFA Pro license
Gomes has a UEFA A license but it has been reported that he started training earlier this year to obtain a UEFA Pro license
At some point Simba may add to the technical bench coach Hitimana Thiery who once coached Namungo Fc
Gomes has worked with Hitimana so he has recommended that the coach be added to the technical bench
Hitimana was in Morogogo completing final formalities to join Mtibwa Sugar but it was reported he left last evening to return to Dar es Salaam
