Romain Folz sacked by Tanzanian giants Young Africans

Romain Folz sacked by Tanzanian giants Young Africans

The former Marumo Gallants and AmaZulu head coach was appointed by Yanga in July and kicked off his tenure with victory in the Community Shield.

He got his Tanzanian Premier League campaign up and running with a 3-0 win over Pamba Jili and guided his team past Wiliete in the first qualifying round of the CAF Champions League.

But a goalless draw with Mbeya City in the league and defeat to Malawi's Silver Strikers in their CAF Champions League Second preliminary round clash first leg saw Folz handed his notice.

Folz has since been replaced on an interim basis by former Kaizer Chiefs captain and assistant coach Patrick Mabedi.

A club statement read: "The Management of Young Africans Sports Club would like to inform the public that it has terminated the contract of the Head Coach of the first team, Romain Folz.

“The Club's management extends its sincere gratitude to Coach Romain Folz for his contributions during his time with us and wishes him all the best in his future endeavours.”
