Young Africans sack Serbian coach despite impressive run

In a rather very shocking move, management of Young Africans Sports Club mutually terminated the employment contract with the Serbian Zlatko Krmpotić, a month since taking over from Belgian Luc Eymael.

The 1935 founded club released a statement signed by their Acting Secretary General, Advocate Simon Patrick indicating the development moments after their comprehensive 3-0 home win against Coastal Union on Saturday.

Young Africans Sports Club hereby informs its fans, members and stakeholders that it has reached mutual agreement to terminate its relationship with its head coach Zlatko Krmpotic. Young Africans Sports Club would like to thank Mr Zlatko for his professionalism while at the club and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

After the victory over Coastal Union, Young Africans Sports Club claimed the summit position of the Tanzania Premier League with 13 points off 5 matches having won 4 games and the other draw.

Krmpotić, 62, had taken over the mantle from Eymael  who was sacked in July 2020 after alleged racist chants towards fans.

His first game in charge was the curtain raiser on the Young Day, a victory over Burundi’s Vital’O.

Prior to the season kick off, Young Africans has beefed up the squad with key additions as Angolas’ sensational creative midfielder Carlos Sténio Fernandes Guimarães Do Carmo, Kibwana Shomari, Yasin Mustafa, Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto, Abdallah Shaibu Ninja, Zawadi Mauya, Mukoko Tonombe, Tuisila Kisinda, Carlos Sténio Fernandes Guimarães Do Carmo, Wazir Junior, Yacouba Songne and Michael Sarpong.
