The season ended in Kigoma Yesterday with Yanga losing the Azam Confederation Cup (ASFC) final match against their hometown rivals Simba by a 1-0
It was not the result fans wanted to achieve, but that is what football is, the result is, you win, you lose or you draw
The thing Yanga is proud of is how the players ended the season by fighting for the team despite playing half of the game with a deficit due to a red card given to midfielder Mukoko Tonombe
Certainly no player can be blamed for their commitment to the game. It's just a result, it's gone and now the thoughts should be on the preparations for next season
Obviously some players will be given a few days off before returning to camp in preparation for next week's Kagame Cup in Dar es Salaam
This tournament is important for Yanga as it will help them in preparation for next season
For three years Yanga did not participate in the tournament because the reason given was to give the players a break after the season ended. Only last season thetournament did not take place due to the corona catastrophe
However due to time constraints towards the start of next season, it would be a big mistake not to participate at this time
Yanga will sign new players, this tournament could help coach Nasreddine Nabi find a combination of new stars and those who will remain
It should be noted that Yanga will take part in the Champions League next season which starts in early September 2021
So there are about six weeks of preparation before the start of the tournament
The 2021/22 Premier League will also start in September one week before, there will be a Community Shield game against Simba so there is no more time
