AfricaPress-Tanzania: MECKY Mexime, Kagera Sugar’s head coach, has confirmed his departure from the Mainland Premier League outfit after a mutual agreement with his former bosses over allegations of unsatisfactory performance in the top flight.
The coach’s exit was made public after Kagera Sugar lost 1-0 to Namungo FC in Kagera last weekend.
Sixtus Sabilo scored the all-important goal for Namungo FC who now move to the ninth position with 27 points.
Namungo have played the least number of games as the outfit’s participation in CAF Confederation Cup has seen them engage in just 18 games.
Kagera Sugar, who have played 23 games, are placed 13th with 24 points.
Mexime last season gave Kagera Sugar success by finishing fifth and, with the coach being hunted by Yanga, Kagera Sugar’s bosses gave him a two-year contract which however could not keep him due to the ongoing poor results.
He has confirmed his departure from the team, explaining that since last Friday evening he met his bosses and negotiated a peaceful departure.
He said the main reason for reaching the decision was due to unsatisfactory results.
According to him he is now free and he would welcome a team which needs his services
“It’s true as you have heard, since last Friday evening I spoke to the officials and today(Sartuday) we have parted ways, it is mainly a result but if any team wants my services we can sit down talk and work,” he noted.
The decision came just an hour after the team conceded a 1-0 home defeat to Namungo FC.
It was a second consecutive home defeat for Kagera Sugar, they prebiously suffered 2-1 loss to Azam FC Last week.
Mexime claimed that Yanga were interested in his services early this season but he turned down the offer after they failed to agree on certain terms.
At the same time, the former defender for senior national team, Taifa Stars, said that coaching top sides such as Azam FC, Simba and Yanga is an easier role compared to handling mid-table clubs.
The 44-year-old gaffer, former Taifa Stars’ skipper, started his coaching career at his boyhood club, Morogoro’s Mtibwa Sugar.
