On Saturday afternoon, the Nyasa Big Bullets legend dismissed reports that he had already signed the contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been here for two days. Negotiations have been completed this evening. I will now lead this squad for the next three years. It has been good for me to work in Tanzania for the first time. City is one of the great teams with great motivation. My initial efforts will be remaining in the league and build a new squad for next season \u201c Kinnah is quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cA few days before I came here, I learned of the existence of Juma Kaseja and Haruna Moshi on this team. These are the players that any coach would love to work with. I know about the strengths and talents at my disposal. I believe, I will be part of the success of the team. They have talent. I have no doubt this team will be one of the teams to be feared,\u201d the former Free State Stars coach added.<\/p>\n
