Simba SC is reorganizing and planning to bounce back better this season, at least going by the revelations the club board made during a dinner on Monday night organized by Members of Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania who are Simba fans in Dodoma.

Enough of the noise coming from Jangweni Street in Dar Es Salaam Tanzania; it's time for the Lion to roar.

Simba SC is reorganizing and planning to bounce back better this season, at least going by the revelations the club board made during a dinner on Monday night organized by Members of Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania who are Simba fans in Dodoma.

According to board chairman Salim' try again' Abdullah, plans to ensure that Simba has a competitive squad next season are underway.

"We will make a big registration (signings) towards the next season of the league; for now, our goals are to make sure we pass the quarter-final stage (CAF) and enter the semi-finals," Abdullah said.

The Deputy Speaker of Parliament for the United Republic of Tanzanian Parliament, Musa Azan Zungu, was also on hand to reassure the fans that the club will bounce back stronger, urging them to keep calm.

"We shouldn't blame each other, we played very well in Morocco (against Wydad), but luck was not ours, let's continue to support our team; I believe we will do well next season," Zungu noted.

Simba is currently carrying out a massive clear out of their squad, having released up to five players, including veterans Jonas Mkude, Erasto Nyoni, and goalkeeper Beno Kakolanya.

It's reported that more senior players like long-serving captain John Rafael Bocco are also expected to be released as Msimbazi prepares to bring in top players to stop Young African's dominance.

Simba dominated the Tanzanian top flight by winning four seasons in a row before Young Africans, led by Engineer Hersi Said and Ghalib Salim Mohamed (GSM), took over the club.

'Tiimu ya Wanainchi' has since gone on to sweep every major trophy on the domestic scene back to back.
