Tanzanian giants Young Africans have a new head coach, Argentine Miguel Angel Gamondi is the chosen one to take over as Nabi Nasreddine's successor on a two-year deal.

The Jangweni-based side, who announced on Saturday through their various social media outlets, shared a video of Gamondi.

"Mambo Wanainchi, I am Miguel Gamondi coach from Argentina,” Gamondi.

“I have worked for more than 20 years in African football, coaching teams like Wydad (Morocco), Sundowns (South Africa), Belouizdad (Algeria), Esperance (Tunisia), and I was lucky as well to get some good results and achievements with them.”

"I am very excited and thrilled to join this big club with a huge history. For me, it's one of the greatest clubs in the continent with incredible fans as well," he added.

Gamondi also note: "I firmly believe if we can work together with fans, management, players and technical staff.”

“We can continue to bring success and even great results. I am very excited to join us, and I hope to see you very soon."

The 59-year-old started coaching on the African continent in 2000 as an assistant coach at Libyan side Al-Ahly; he also held the same role at top African sides like ASEC Mimosas, Wydad Casablanca, Esperance and Etoile du Sahel.

His major achievement was in 2008 when he guided South Africa's Platinum Stars to the round of 16 stages of the CAF Confederation Cup.

Gamondi will be tasked with guiding Young Africans as far as they can go in the CAF Champions League and reclaim the domestic treble for the third time in a row.
