Renard applies for Tanzania job The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has revealed that Zambia’s coach Herve Renard is among the many tacticians who have applied for the Tanzania job. TFF’s General Secretary Fredrick Mwakalebela told Daily News Newspaper in Tanzania that t Renard was among high profile coaches who sent in their applications. Over 12 coaches have sent in their applications to replace Brazilian Marcio Maximo, whose contract expires in July. In the wake of Maximo’s pending departure TFF has started the process of searching for his replacement and Mwakalebela said coaches from Venezuela, United Kingdom as well as other European countries have already submitted their application vying to take over from Maximo. “Though we have not announced the criteria for national team coach, applications are already flowing in,” he said, adding that they declare the post vacant and announce qualifications for Maximo’s successor after the federation’s general meeting later this month. Reports also indicate that Cote D’Ivoire’s national soccer coach Vahid Haliihodzic who pitched camp with his team in the East African state ahead of the just ended Orange Caf Africa Nations Cup in Angola is also interested in taking charge of the Taifa Stars. He will however be available after leading the Ivorians through their World Cup campaign this summer in South Africa.

Previously known as the Super Cup, the traditional season curtain-raiser is destined to capture stepped-up interest. Following new sponsorship, it will be known as the SuperSport/DStv Champions Cup.
