Africa-Press – Angola. The prices practiced in Angola for courses for football coaches, with a view to obtaining a C and B license, should be reviewed, said this Friday, in Luanda, the former national coach of Under-17.
Addressing the fact that some coaches of the “Girabola” National Football Championship were prevented from guiding their respective teams when they qualified for the Cups, due to lack of licensing, Simão Languinha said that the formations are very costly.
The current holder of the C portfolio, since 2015, stated that licensing training for the B portfolio costs Kz 700 thousand, while for the C portfolio Kz 300 thousand.
For him, the costs stipulated by the Associação de Treinadores Futebol de Angola (ATEFA) are expensive and unfair taking into account the weak financial capacity of local coaches.
He referred that even some coaches of the National Football Championship have a monthly fee of kz 400,000, low values that make it impossible to adhere to the courses due to other charges inherent to personal life.
The interviewee proposed reducing costs to Kz 50,000 (license C) and not exceeding Kz 80,000 for license A and B.
The deputy coordinator of the Angolan Football Academy (AFA) was amazed at the fact that in Mozambique, with almost the same difficulties as Angola, prices such as the equivalent of kz 170,000 (license B) and kz 70 thousand (license C).
Simão Languia once again mentioned Mozambique as a good example in this regard, finding it curious that the country on the Indian Ocean has 70 A-level coaches and 125 B-level coaches, surpassing the three that Angola has with A and just ten with B.
The interlocutor appealed to ATEFA for greater rigor in defending the class, suggesting that training actions of the kind could be subsidized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports in partnership with the Angolan Football Federation (FAF).
