Yanga head coach Romain Folz, without a doubt, experienced the true magnitude of the club in Mbeya after the Premier League match against Mbeya City played at the Sokoine Stadium.
For the first time, Folz encountered the pressure of being Yanga’s coach after the match, which ended in a goalless draw.
Perhaps it was a long walk from the pitch to the dressing rooms, with hundreds of fans raising their voices to show dissatisfaction with the way their team had performed.
Having managed Yanga in four previous matches—all of which he won—yesterday was his first time leading the team upcountry, where he witnessed a ‘full-house’ at the Sokoine Stadium.
Folz emphasized that his team’s inability to play well in that match was largely influenced by the poor condition of the pitch at Sokoine.
Following the fans’ pressure on Yanga’s management to make changes within the technical bench, the club’s Media and Communications Manager, Ali Kamwe, urged supporters to remain calm, stressing that the leadership listens to them and will make decisions with the club’s broader interests in mind.
Rumors from within the management suggest that when the league pauses for the FIFA international break, the leadership is expected to meet with the technical bench to discuss various issues, including the team’s performance.
