Yanga coach shown the door

Yanga
Tanzanian giants Yanga have sacked their Belgian coach Tom Saintfet after only two matches in the current season.

Saintfet was shown the door hours before the weekend clash with JKT Ruvu on Sunday 23 September 2012 for what the club termed as an unnaceptable start to the 2012-13 Vodacom Premier League season.

Having drawn their first match of the season 0-0 against Tanzania Prisons, they were then hammered 3-0 by Mtibwa Sugar.

The former Namibia coach was however categorical that not the club's form, but other issues were privy to his sacking.

Shocked

- After two games you cannot say we had false start - Mourinho has the best players in Spain but he does not win every game, he told BBC Sport.

- We were in a group discussion [with the club's board], they asked me my opinion about what was going on, I made my my thoughts very clear, but other people had other ideas on how the club should be run, and the club president said you are hereby sacked.

- They bought players for their own benefit. I had my list, but they bought players who were not needed, he retorted.

With Saintfet gone, Yanga proceeded to whip Ruvu 4-1.
