Mighty Tigers recently announced that they have sacked head coach Rodgers Yassin after going seven league games with a single win and 5 defeats.
On record, this is the worst start to a season for the team in the past 5 TNM Super League seasons.
In his reaction after receiving the news, Rodgers blamed the lack of motivation by the team on the welfare of its players.
“It is true that I have failed as a coach because when the team loses, the blame goes to the coach. How do you expect good results from players who are not well looked after?” asked Yassin, rhetorically.
His last match was a 3-2 home defeat to newly promoted side Ekwendeni Hammers which left them second from the bottom of the top-flight league standings with just four points after seven games.
Rodgers Yassin was appointed as Tigers Head Coach in February last year after former coach Gerald Phiri left the club due to the team’s financial problems.
