Fadlu Davids has outlined his aims to win the CAF Champions League with Simba SC this season or next.
The South African coach led the 22-time Tanzania Premier League champions to the final of the Confederation Cup last season but ended up losing to Morocco’s RS Berkane.
They have never won the Champions League in their 89-year history and kick off in this season’s campaign against Botswana’s Gaborone United in the first preliminary round.
Speaking ahead of his side’s 1-0 defeat to Yanga SC in the Community Shield at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Tuesday, the coach revealed him ambitions.
He was reported by iDiski Times to have said: “This is the ambition of a club like Simba. We can’t be happy with just getting to a CAF Confederation Cup final. We have to win the Confederation Cup final.
“This season we are in the Champions League. I want the best possible squad to be able to not only participate in the Champions League. I want to win the Champions League. Yes, it can happen this year, it can happen next year.
“But 100 per cent Simba will win the Champions League within the next few years, that’s for sure. We have the ambition, we have a president [Mohammed Dewji] that has put out that goal for us as a technical, a club or a board to be able to say we are a huge club and let’s have that ambition.”
