Barely a month after he was shown
the door by Kagame Cup champions Yanga, Tom Saintfiet has landed a new job as
the Yemen national team coach.
The Belgian was axed following a
poor start to the Vodacom Premier League despite propelling them to the
regional title.
Saintfiet, a former Ethiopia
tactician will start work on Saturday and will lead his new team against
Lebanon in a friendly match scheduled for 16th October.
“It’s true I’m the Yemen National
team coach. I’m happy and delighted with this new task because it shows I have
the potential.”
“I hope to achieve something and
lift the level of Yemen football. It won’t be easy but I proved in the past
that this suits me,” said Saintfiet.
In their recent encounter, the
team lost 4-0 to Morocco in the Arab Nations Cup and the Belgian will be tasked
to turn their fortunes around.
Yemen are 157th on Fifa rankings.
