Tanzania have lost all their matches

Tanzania coach Mshindo Msolla said he will reconsider his position with the national team after the end of their Nations Cup qualifiers.

"I will decide what to do after our last match with Sudan. I have informed the FA that we cannot continue like this."

Msolla said the team's chances of going to Tunisia have been frustrated as a result of improper planning from the FA.

"The group was a soft one, but we lost to everyone due to gross negligence by the government and the FA," he complained.

The coach said he has not been paid since taking over in October last year and his players have not been given camp allowances.

Captain Boniface Pawasa and striker Emmanuel Gabriel echoed Msolla's views and predicted a dark future for the national team.

"If the players really had options, nobody would play for Taifa Stars," said Gabriel.

"We do well with our clubs but end up getting humiliated in the national team due to our poor conditions."

But FA chairman Muhidin Ndolanga said they are not to blame for the Taifa Stars poor showing in the Nations Cup qualifiers.

"Our national team has been losing because players play below standard," he said.
