Caf Champions League: Why coach Da Rosa is to blame for Simba SC exit – Gakumba

The Rwandese agent reveals why he the French tactician ended the Msimbazi giant’s hopes of reaching the semis

Football agent Patrick Gakumba has sensationally claimed Simba SC should hold coach Didier Gomes Da Rosa responsible for their exit from the Caf Champions League at the expense of Kaizer Chiefs.

The Msimbazi giants’ fairytale run was ended at the quarter-final stage after they lost 4-3 on aggregate to Kaizer Chiefs of South Africa, losing the quarter-final first leg match 4-0 away at FNB Stadium before winning the return leg 3-0 at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

Despite putting in a gallant display which saw them score goals through captain and striker John Bocco and Zambian midfielder Clatous Chama, it was not enough for them to overturn the first leg defeat and hence failed to reach the semi-finals of the competition.
