Tanzania Sacks Taifa Stars Head Coach Adel Amrouche

Tanzania have suspended manager Adel Amrouche after he was given an eight-match ban and fined $10,000 by the Confederation of African Football (Caf).

His dismissal was confirmed by the Tanzanian Football Federation with Hemed Suleiman promoted from assistant coach to caretaker boss for the rest of the Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

The Tanzania Football Federation cited the eight match ban handed down to the Taifa Stars tactician by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over remarks he made against the Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF).

Amrouche was appointed as Taifa Stars coach on March 4, 2023.
