Azam FC deny recent run of poor results is due to reduction of bonuses

Azam FC have vehemently denied reports the team’s recent poor run in the Mainland Premier League is a result of player bonuses being reduced.

The Chamazi-based giants started the season on a flying note, winning seven straight matches which saw them top the 18-team table for almost two months.

However, after losing to Mtibwa Sugar away, the team’s problems started, as they moved to sack coach Aristica Cioaba and later appointed Zambian George Lwandamina to handle the side on a one-year deal.
