Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Tanzania coach explains reason to axe Manula

Tanzania assistant coach Juma Mgunda has explained the reason keeper Aishi Manula was axed from the squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Simba SC custodian was among the players who did not make it to the provisional squad of 27 players named by coach Ettiene Ndayiragije ahead of their two qualifiers against Equatorial Guinea and Libya.

Manula's omission forced him to tell reporters that he does not harbour any bad feelings towards coach Ndayiragije for taking the decision.

“I don’t have any complains because the selection was done by the coach, so I am okay with that,” Manula told reporters on Monday.
