Caf Champions League: Why Simba SC need ‘genius’ Kahata vs Kaizer Chiefs – Amrouche

The former Harambee Stars tactician explains to Goal why the Msimbazi giants struggled to get a win against Amakhosi

Former Kenya coach Adel Amrouche believes Simba SC struggled to contain Kaizer Chiefs in their Caf Champions League quarter-final fixture because they did not field midfielder Francis Kahata.

The Kenyan star was not involved in the first leg clash at FNB Stadium despite making the trip to South Africa as Amakhosi hammered the Msimbazi giants 4-0 to put one foot in the semi-finals.

Amrouche, who handled Kenya’s Harambee Stars between 2013-14 season, has told Goal in an exclusive interview Simba suffered the humiliating defeat because they lacked a creative midfielder like Kahata to unlock the Chiefs defensive line.
