Wayne Sandilands set to join Fadlu Davids in Tanzania

According to information gathered by the public broadcaster, the former Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns keeper could be following his countryman Fadlu Davids to Simba SC should he accept the job.

Davids spent the 2023/24 season as assistant coach to Józef Zinnbauer at Raja Casablanca, where they pair clinched an incredible league and cup double in Morocco – beating Kaizer Chiefs-bound mentor Nasreddine Nabi, who was in charge of rivals FAR Rabat, to both those titles.
