Apart from the good relations that Yanga have forged with players from DR Congo, the presence of more players from that country in the squad next season will be beneficial
The six DR Congo stars who will serve Yanga next season are Shabani Djuma, Yannick Bangala, Mukoko Tomombe, Jesus Moloko, Heritier Makambo and Fiston Mayele
Apart from Makambo, five players have played together for AS Vita
They know each other well, so they will make it easier for coach Nasreddine Nabi to connect with their teammates
Djuma, Mayele and Bangala have also played together in the National team. Makambo played for Horoya Ac who last season reached the quarter-finals of the CAF Champions League. He is no stranger to Yanga, he played here two seasons ago and scored 22 goals in all competitions
Also these stars speak French and Swahili at least, they will not have a challenge in communicating with Tanzanian players
Midfielder Khalid Aucho, is a top-class player who will not need much time to get used to his teammates. He speaks English and a little Swahili too
Dickson Ambundo, Bryson David have done well in the league last season. One season ago, Ambundo was in Kenya playing for Gor Mahia
He is a player who quickly adapted to the environment. Yanga used him in the Kagame Cup and he did better than the players he found
After the 11-day camp in Morocco, the expectation is that the new Yanga direction will begin to appear
August 29, the day of Citizens', fans will have the opportunity to witness entertainment from their re-branded team
