OCTOBER 12
Cranes v Niger
Angola v Benin
Newly appointed Cranes assistant coach Sam Simbwa has revealed that the national team can still get better despite their recent dip in form.
The Cranes face the Squirrels of Benin on Sunday, October 12 in a must win game. Simbwa has guided army side Simba SC to the summit of the National Super League and was on Thursday appointed to assist Cranes coach Bobby Williamson. “There is always that bad spell but I am still confident the current Cranes side is among the best on the continent. There is no doubt about that,” said Simbwa.
The Cranes need to score goals and pray that Niger snatches a decent result in Luanda if they are to stand a chance of advancing to the next phrase of the qualifiers.
He promised to help Williamson to beat Benin. The Scottish coach traveled to his home country to attend the last funeral rites of his father who passed away on Wednesday. “My return to the national team is not meant to waste time clashing with people but to do my job,” he said.
Simbwa and Jackson Mayanja were relieved of their duties in April after they failed to assist then coach Laszlo Csaba. The Cranes begin residential training at the Mandela Sports Hotel on Monday ahead of the crunch encounter.
