TAIFA Stars head coach Mart Nooij has come under fire again after a humiliating 3-0 defeat to the Pharaohs of Egypt in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match in Alexandria.

www.Naijasportsxtra.blogspot.com gather from a Dar es Salaam based daily, The Citizen, that seasoned coach Abdallah “King” Kibadeni has urged the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) should relieve Nooij of his duties.

Last Sunday night’s defeat, the fourth for Nooij’s men in two months, comes at a time when local soccer fans are still striving to come to terms with the team’s embarrassing show in the 2015 Cosafa Cup in South Africa.

“TFF should fire him right now. He has failed to deliver,”

The Taifa Stars who seat bottom of Group G in the AFCON 2017 qualifiers will host Nigeria's Super Eagles in Dar es Salaam on September 4.
