Players eager to join Tigers
Tigers' duo Bryan Bantam and Da Costa Angula are expected to return to the club, following their loan spells at Black Africa.
Players are apparently queuing up to join 2015/16 Namibia Premier League (NPL) champions, Tiger FC, with sources revealing that coach Woody Jacobs is spoilt for choice.
Jacobs has reportedly been receiving calls from some top players, who are prepared to leave their clubs and join the Katutura giants.
Sources, however, said the coach is yet to sign any players, as he first wants to meet with the club's management before any decisions are made.
“He will only sit down with the club hierarchy this weekend and discuss the way forward. But as always, players are calling him,” sources said.
The club is also set to be boosted by the return Da Costa Angula and Bryan Bantam, who were on loan to Black Africa.
The contracts of players like Tafadswa Mvura, Bradley Werman, Letu Shatimuene, and Hosea Nankambe and Nzinga Afonso have also come to an end.
Jacobs did not confirm or deny the claims made by sources.
“It is too early to discuss this matter, but yes I will be meeting the club management this weekend.
“It is also premature to speak about the movements of players,” Jacobs said.
Tigers will be eager to reinforce their ranks, following a shaky 2017/18 season that saw them finishing sixth in the premier league.
The club faced a major crisis in the first half of the season, which saw them lingering near the bottom of the table for a number of weekends.
This resulted in the resignation of coach Lucky Kakuva, who was under pressure from management.
As a result, the club appointed Jacobs in December last year.
He managed to help the team out of the relegation zone, leading them to a sixth place finish.
It was, however, not the best of seasons for the former league champions, given that they lost 12 matches and won 14, while also playing to four draws in their 30 league games.
African Stars will be the defending champions next season, after winning the 2017/18 title.
