The fans now need to rally around the team because with the new coach, we are about to see a greatly improved squad. It is also important to ensure we win the remaining games.
The former Simba chief Executive Officer added they will be guided by the government s direction in as far as the preparation for the derby is concerned. The government has given a direction and it is from there we will sit down and take the next step on our part, he added.
The government has already ordered that the Kariakoo Derby be played after it told Tanzania Football Federation and the Premier League Board to set a new date.

The act to postpone the game angered Tanzanians and even people from across the world. These teams carry the image of Tanzanian football and thus there is a need to know the fate of the Kariakoo Derby. I would like to urge the Tanzanians, especially the soccer fans, who had made arrangements to watch the game either at the stadium or through the television, to be patient. They need to be patient as the ministry of sports and TFF look into the matter with an aim of coming up with a solution.
TPLB has defended themselves and confirmed it will decide the fate of the derby on Monday.
The Tanzania Football Federation and the Premier League board had scheduled the kick-off time at 17:00 EAT before it was pushed forward, a move that saw Yanga object to the new time.
Simba s board vice-chairman, Said Abdallah, said they have now set their focus on their next games, but the promise made to the players remains. The eyes are now on the next games and when we will know the date to face Yanga, we will then see if to maintain the promise or add some more money, Abdallah told Mwanaspoti.
Yanga, who have given their players a one-day break, had promised them Tsh540 million shillings - Tsh231 million more than what Simba s stars were promised - had they picked up a win against the traditional rivals.
