Young Africans (Yanga SC) coach Luc Eymael has confessed it will not be possible to catch up with run-away leaders Simba SC when the Mainland Premier League resumes.
The top-flight was halted in mid-March owing to the coronavirus pandemic but on Thursday, Tanzania President John Pombe Magufuli gave the green light for the league to resume after June 1.
While welcoming to move to resume the league, the Belgian coach has told Goal they will put more focus on winning the domestic cup because “it will not be possible to reach Simba.”

“It is impossible to win the league, if we win the league it will be a big miracle, the gap [between Yanga and Simba] was too big when I arrived and we cannot be champions this season,” Eymael told Goal on Friday.
