Tanzanian national soccer team,
Taifa Stars' coach, Marcio Maximo, has said he will stay in charge of
the team until July next year to conclude his contract.
The Brazilian tactician said this when announced the squad that will move to a residential camp on Monday in readiness for two friendly matches against Ivory Coast next month. Maximo said that though the contract gives room for either party to terminate it, he has no plans to leave before July.
"When I came here, I had plans to ensure that Taifa Stars play at the highest level possible. I am happy that we have achieved that partly," he told the Daily News.
“Now that we have missed out a chance in the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Angola next year, I would like to remain and guide the team to qualify for Africa finals for players in the domestic leagues in Sudan."
The Brazilian has been under pressure to quit with the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) announcing about two weeks ago that a new search for his replacement has started and a new coach will be in place by next March.
However, Maximo said that he would leave once he has fulfilled his promise of taking the national team through to the Sudan finals.
"I had promised Tenga (TFF president) and President Jakaya Kikwete that I would not depart until the country qualifies for CHAN, and I would live to that promise", he insisted.
He admitted that the national team's performance this year has not been good but "not too bad" despite the fans disquiet.
The squad to face Ivory Coast includes:
Goalkeepers: Mwarami Mohamed, Shaaban Hassan Kado, and Shabani Dihile. Defenders are Nadir Haroub Canavaro, Salum Sued, Kelvin Yondani and David Naftal.
Defenders: Erasto Nyoni, Shadrack Nsajigwa, Juma Jabu and Stephen Mwasika.
Midfielders: Juma Said Nyosso, Ibrahim Mwaipopo, Nurdin Bakari, Henry Joseph, Abdulahhim Homoud, Nizar Khalfan, Abdi Kassim, Kigi Makasi, Shaban Nditi, Samatta Mbwana
Forwards: Danny Mrwanda, Mussa Hassan Mgosi, Jerryson Tegete, Mrisho Ngassa, Yusuf Soka, Zahoro Pazi, John Bocco.
