STARS ABROAD Aucho on what makes Mayele a top striker as he pays tribute to Nabi Nasreddine
Aucho, fresh from featuring for the Uganda Cranes against Algeria in the AFCON 2023 Qualifier in Cameroon, revealed that Mayele's competitive spirit and consistency are the reasons for his top performance.
During the two seasons, 'Tiimu ya Wananichi' has dominated Tanzanian football, winning back-to-back domestic trebles.
Including reaching their maiden CAF Confederation Cup final, which they lost on the away goals rule to Algeria's USM Alger.
The 'predator' top scored in the continental competition with seven goals, adding a further 17 on the domestic front, finishing as joint top scorer with Simba SC's Saido Ntibazonkiza.
It remains to be seen how the 29-time Tanzanian league champions plan to manage Mayele's departure with rivals Simba having reinforced ahead of the new season.
