Simba SC has officially parted ways with midfielder Alassane Kanté after he spent one season with the club. Kanté joined Simba for the 2025/26 season, becoming part of a squad that had high expectations in both domestic and international competitions.
However, after the conclusion of the season, Simba decided not to include Kanté in its plans for the 2026/27 season, bringing his time with the club to an end.
Recent reports indicated that Simba had previously explored the possibility of selling the midfielder, before a final decision was eventually made regarding his future at the club.
Through its farewell message, Simba thanked Kanté for the time he spent as part of the Wekundu wa Msimbazi squad and wished him all the best in the next chapter of his football career.
Kanté’s departure adds to the changes taking place within Simba’s squad as the club continues to shape its team for the 2026/27 season and prepare for competition across various tournaments.
The decision has also sparked debate among Simba supporters, with some questioning whether it was the right move for the club to part ways with Kanté after just one season, while others are waiting to see how his position will be filled in the squad.
