Tanzania: Young Africans dismiss Pedro Gonçalves from head coach position

Young Africans announced on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, that they have dismissed their head coach Pedro Gonçalves. The sacking comes just hours after a 1-0 win over KMC in the NBC Tanzania Premier League—a surprising decision given the club’s commanding position at the top of the table.

Appointed around six months ago, the Portuguese tactician leaves his post with Yanga leading the standings, boasting 51 points from 21 matches. Under his guidance, Yanga also posted impressive stats, scoring 51 goals and conceding only 5.

Despite this strong record, the club’s management had already considered parting ways after a 2-2 draw in the derby against Simba SC. The performance, deemed below expectations despite earning a point, appears to have weighed heavily in the final decision.

A mixed run on the continental stage

On the African front, Young Africans’ campaign fell short of expectations. Competing in the CAF Champions League group stage, the Tanzanian club finished third behind Al Ahly SC and AS FAR Rabat, thus missing out on qualification for the next round.

This contrast between local dominance and underwhelming continental results may have accelerated the management’s decision.
