Tanzania coach Adel Amrouche has been sacked by the Tanzania Football Federation following an eight-match ban and a $10, 000 fine by the Confederation of Africa Football

The Algerian was handed the ban because of his comment after their 3-0 thrashing by Morocco in their first match.

In a statement released by the Tanzania Football Federation on Friday, Amrouche would be replaced by Hemed Morocco as the interim coach.

“In another step, the Executive Committee of the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has suspended Coach Adel Amrouche

“As a result of that decision, Hemed Morocco has been appointed as Acting Coach, and he will be assisted by Juma Mgunda,” the statement read.

Amruche had questioned Morocco’s influence in the match and suggested that the North Africans have a say in selecting the referees for their matches.

“Morocco determines everything in African football, they also choose their referees. We remain spectators because they determine everything,” he said

Tanzania will take on former champions, Zambia in their second Group F match on Sunday by 6 pm.

Morocco cruised to a 3-0 win over 10-man Tanzania in San Pedro on Wednesday as they opened their AFCON Group F campaign

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
