Yanga Coach Zlatko Krmpotic Leaves Club by Mutual Consent

Yanga coach Zlato Krompotic has left the Tanzanian Premier League giants after 37 days in charge of the team.

Krompotic joined the club in August and was in charge of five Tanzania Premier League matches, winning four and drawing one.

The Jangwani-based outfit announced the news on social media on Saturday night, moments after their 3 -0 win over Coastal Union.

“Young Africans Sports Club hereby informs its fans, members and stakeholders that it has reached mutual agreement to terminate its relationship with its head coach Zlatko Krmpotic,” reads the statement.

“Young Africans Sports Club would like to thank Mr Zlatko for his professionalism while at the club and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.”

Krmpotic, the CAF 2015 Champions League winner, was appointed as Yanga coach at the end of August replacing Luc Eymael who was shown the door earlier this month over racist comments.

The Croatian signed a two-year- deal with the club but he failed to impress his bosses tactically as most of his roles were being performed by his assistants.

Krmpotic has coached big clubs in Africa like TP Mazembe, where he was an assistant manager under French head coach, Patrice Carteron.

At TP Mazembe he managed to win the Congolese Premier League title in 2015 having joined the club after his stints with Serbian under 17 and Under 19 National teams between 2005 and 2008.

After leaving the Congolese side he joined Zambian outfit Zesco United, then Jwaneng Galaxy in Botswana, APR FC in Rwanda and last year he was coaching Polokwane City in South Africa.
