The decision raised eyebrows as the Belgian was fired with immediate effect by Tanzania Premier League side Yanga Africans in July last year for calling the club's fans “illiterate and monkeys”.
Safa registered their unhappiness with Mpengesi's decision in a statement issued after the confirmation of Eymael's appointment.
The mother body said at the time they would write to the Minister of Home Affairs to express their objection to the granting of a work permit for Eymael. Safa also said they would also request the Ethics Committees of Fifa and Safa to "charge Mr Eymael as his despicable conduct is a violation of the codes of both bodies.”

This came as a result of Eymael being accused of having used racist language during his short stint with Tanzanian side Young Africans, the last club where he has worked.
Safa initially tried to ban the 61-year-old Eymael from coaching in South Africa, but the controversial manager is able to work in the country again after taking the issue to the Fifa Ethics Committee.
