The South African tactician is understood to be a massive admirer of the Yanga tandem, Stephane Aziz Ki and Clement Mzize. The duo has proven to be integral players for the East African giants, and the North African giants have been linked with them for the majority of the transfer window.
The transfer market in the Botola Pro Inwi only closes on Friday, so there is still a possibility that the record champions could complete deals for them.
Yanga and African Club Association president Hersi Said and Wydad president Hicham Ait Menna were pictured together at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations draw, and it was alleged that they would discuss matters relating to the potential transfers.
However, those talks seem to have borne no fruit for the Red Castle because, according to Le360 Sport, the record Tanzanian league title winners are not willing to sell Aziz Ki and Mzize and have sent an official letter to Wydad stating that negotiations are closed.
The same report claims that, in the letter, the Casablanca-based side were informed that Yanga would be needing their players for the rest of the season and were not willing to let them go this transfer window.
