Eymael: I can never be a racist, several Yanga SC players have supported me

The much-travelled Belgian tactician maintains he is not a racist despite losing his job over his controversial comments

Luc Eymael claimed that he has never been a racist and will never be after he lost his job at Young Africans (Yanga SC) on Monday.

The Belgian coach was fired by the Jangwani Street-based giants after a video of him allegedly making demeaning comments about Tanzanians and especially Timu Ya Wananchi supporters leaked to the public.

Following a 1-1 draw with Mtibwa Sugar in which saw his team finish second in the league, the 60-year-old tore into the club's supporters, claiming they were ignorant about football, and lambasting the conditions he had been working in since arriving in Tanzania.
