Shocking! Young Africans part ways with Nasreddine Nabi's successor despite ex-Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Gamondi's impressive start to the season after former Orlando Pirates coach Davids guides Simba atop Tanzanian Premier League standings

Tanzanian club Young Africans have announced the departure of their head coach Miguel Gamondi in an official statement issued on Friday afternoon.

The dismissal of the outspoken coach comes after Yanga's back-to-back defeats against Azam FC and Tabora United earlier this month left them trailing their fierce rivals Simba by a single point.

Gamondi was shown the exit door along with his assistant Moussa Ndaw.

"The management of Young Africans Sports Club would like to inform the public that it has terminated the contract with the Head Coach of the first team, Angel Miguel Gamondi," reads the club's statement. 

"Likewise, the management of the Young Africans Sports Club has terminated the contract of the assistant coach of the first team, Moussa Ndaw.

"The management of Young Africans Sports Club would like to thank the Coaches for their contribution to our Club and wish them all the best in their new roles," Yanga added. 

"The quick process of finding new Coaches for our first team has already started and is expected to be completed soon." 

Gamondi succeeded current Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi when he left the club at the start of the 2023/24 season. 

Upon his arrival, the 57-year-old mentor instantly guided the team to winning their third consecutive league title in his first season. 

Moreover, the Argentine tactician also led the side to the quarter-finals of the Caf Champions League last season. 

Yanga currently sits in position two in the Tanzanian Premier League table, trailing league leaders Simba SC, who are led by Fadlu Davids, by just a point after ten games.

Young Africans have initiated the search for Gamondi's replacement and are set to unveil their choice in due course.

On the other hand, Gamondi will be hoping to find a new home soon.

Given his experience, he is likely not to find it difficult to land a new club, especially in Africa.
