Tanzania Coach: “We Are Ready” for Super Eagles and Tough AFCON Group
Tanzania’s head coach, Hemed Suleiman Ali, has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to compete against the Super Eagles and their other Group C rivals at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Taifa Stars have been drawn alongside former champions Tunisia, Uganda, and Nigeria in what many consider a challenging group.
Tanzania, currently the lowest-ranked team among them, will have a tough task ahead, but Ali remains optimistic about their chances.
Acknowledging the difficulty of the group, Ali made it clear that his team was not backing down.
“We are ready. We’ve seen our opponents, and we know it won’t be easy, but it’s not easy for anyone. There is no such thing as an easy group in this competition,” Ali told CAF Online.
“If you qualify for a tournament like this, you must prepare well. We know who we’re up against, and we know what we need to do. The only way forward is to get ready and fight hard to make our people proud,” he added.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
