This is after the Belgian tactician made derogatory remarks regarding the TFF, his immediate former club Yanga and Tanzanian football fans in general.

"The pitches in Tanzania are really bad, they are not even what we have in the seventh division in Europe. This is not for me. The officiating too is very pathetic and always against Yanga. I don’t have a car, no DSTV connection, no WiFi, please just let me go away,” Eymael ranted after the 1-0 win Lipuli last week.
“The fans know nothing about soccer and are always shouting like monkeys. The Tanzanian Football Federation (TFF) works to the favor of Simba and I don’t enjoy anything in Tanzania. This is not for me. Yanga is disorganized and will never win the league,” he added.
The outspoken coach later apologized for the careless remarks but it was too late as he was sacked by Yanga.
