Weekend Scorecard

Share

Former Zambia coach on Sunday guided Simba to a record equaling 17th Tanzanian league title.

This was Phiri’s second league title with Simba after winning the 2004 crown in his first and debut stint with the Tanzanian club before leaving at the end of the season to coach Nkana and later Zambia.

Unbeaten Simba secured league championship after defeating Azam 2-0 in Dar-es-Salaam.

Simba sealed their title victory with two matches to spare on an unassailable 56 points from 20 games played and are 12 points ahead of archrivals and outgoing champions Young Africans.

Phiri said he was delighted to have won the title in his second season after finishing runner-up last year.

“Each Game was tough. After finishing second last year, our target was to finish first,” Phiri said. “It is good to manage to fulfill the aspirations of Simba.

Phiri signed a 2-year deal with Simba that comes to an end this year.

  1. Congrates, that’s what Phiri is made of using Local players and turning them to be Champions in their own rights!
