Zanzibar Football Association, ZFA, has signed a five-year deal with English coach Stewart John Hall here yesterday.
Hall, whose earlier bid to coach the Tanzania national soccer team, Taifa Stars, collapsed in May, will be responsible for the Zanzibar national soccer team, The Heroes.
ZFA president Ali Fereji Tamim said Hall will be assisted by home-based coaching duo of Hemed Morocco and Ally Kidi.
Cash-strapped ZFA has teamed up with
Future Century and Global Scouting Beural (GSB) firms to meet the remuneration package of the Englishman.
Hall becomes the first Englishman to take responsibility of coaching Zanzibar Heroes who are only featuring in annual East and central African Challenge Cup championship.
The coach is expected to start his duties the sooner the Zanzibar premiership soccer season comes to an end later this month.
“We are proud of our efforts to contract the English coach independently without assistance from the Government to exhibit our commitment in football development,” said Tamim.
However, Tamim declined to disclose the contractual package to be paid to the English coach and other clauses.
Hall said he would coach the team on perpetual basis regardless whether there is a tournament ahead or not as long as players will be available.
Future Century’s executive chairperson Hellen Masanja said beside her firm’s core business in construction, they also have deep commitment to develop soccer in Zanzibar.
She said the coach would also be responsible to conduct some football clinics for the Zanzibar young players as well.
Hall said he has set up both short and long term soccer programmes so as to improve soccer in the Isles but would urgently need hand in glove cooperation.
He remained optimistic that there will be a breakthrough to attain success especially if all he has set would be strictly adhered to.
Hall has in possession of UEFA’s first division coaching licence with a background of propelling St. Vicent & Gernadines U-20 side into the 2008 Concacaf finals.

i never hard this coach before,does anyone knows him?
Mimi sijawahi kumsikia huyu jamaa lakini nimetafuta information zake nimeona alikuwa ni moja wa makochi walioitayarisha South Korea kwa ajili ya Kombe la Dunia 2010 South Africa. Pia alisha wahi kuwa kocha kwenye Birmingham City Academy baadea aliwahi kuwa kocha wa FC Pune nchini India na aliiewesha timu hiyo kupanda daraja. Baadae walihitalifiana akaachishwa kazi au alifukuzwa. Mimi nina suali langu kwa ZFA na Serekali iliyoko madarakani.1. Tumemchukua huyu kocha MUENGEREZA tutakuwa tunamlipa kiasi gani? 2.Jee mumefika wapi kuweza kuiandikisha Zanzibar kama member wa FIFA, ili tuweze kushiriki African Nation Cup na World Cup? Otherwise huyu kocha hana maana ni kupoteza pesa bure…..
Ombeni misaada muweke Academy halafu muombe watu voluntary kutoka Ulaya na South America wengi wapo tu hasa wachezaji walokwisha ritaya wanakuwa wanachukua coaching badge wanakuwa rahisi kuwapata kwani huwa wanatafuta experience na kuonekana ili waje kuwakuza vipaji vijana ili waweze kucheza nje baadae…waitoe nchi na familia zao kwenye mashimo.
Mr T
Hili jina lake sio geni kwangu inaonekana namfahamu huyu sio coach bana ana viteam pale birmigham team ndogo ndogo tu street team lakini kwa vile mzungu na sisi wagunjwa na watu wenye ngozi nyeupe kapata kibarua kiurahisi kwanini Zanzibar wesende kumchukuwa Capelo anatafuta ajira England National team hawamtaki tena
nchi haina maji , umeme, huduma za afya mbovu,shule zetu madhlumu , bado serikali na wizara zinafikiria mpira au michezo , wenzenu wa nchi zilizoendelea kama uingereza hawana matatizo ya mahitaji ya lazima ‘ human basic needs’ wemejikomboa zamani , wao hata wakicheza mpira au chochote hata masaa 24 kwa siku haki yao washatengeneza nchi yao , na ya maisha ya raia wao.
