By James Momanyi
Just four months before Tanzania head coach Marcio Maximo's contract expires, the Brazilian tactician is increasingly receiving offers from top clubs.
Orlando Pirates of South Africa and Ghana’s Accra Hearts of Oak are some of the clubs that have shown an interest in hiring Maximo as their head coach.
According to a report posted in The Citizen, the South African club has already arranged to meet Maximo for contract discussions.
“Already he has received offers from several countries and clubs who want him to take over, but has yet to make final decision,” an impeccable source told the paper.
“Orlando Pirates desperately want to hire him and will soon land to discuss the deal with him,” the source continued.
While the Brazilian is yet to officially respond to an earlier offer from an Israeli club, he has also been offered the chance to train premier league teams in United Arab Emirates and Brazil.
Recently, Maximo travelled to Israel to meet Hapoel officials and discuss their offer. His contract will expire on July 28.
