Newly-appointed Tanzania National team head coach Adel Amrouche has rushed to reconcile and lure the Swahili nation’s football-mad population to his side ahead of a daunting 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

“The most important [aspect] in this story is our supporters because this was the first thing that motivated me to come here,” the Belgo-Algerian started.
“In my 21 years of experience in coaching in Africa, I think only Congo and a bit of Algeria have I seen the support in Tanzania. When they’re together, they don’t only put pressure on the opponent but motivate the players [as well], I ask them to come and support their national team.
The 54-year-old will start from that same point Polsen left but this time against the senior Cranes team when they meet twice later this month in the 2023 Afcon Group F qualifiers.
“We’re going to build the story together because we’re not going to do this alone,” he lured the fans further.
Both Tanzania and Uganda sit bottom-side of the table with a point apiece from two games as Algeria and Niger lead with six and two points respectively.
