[TD="class: mainStory, align: left"]This guy did wonders with the talent he was given to work with and he tried to emphasize the importance of investing in the youth. Yet people were not happy because they wanted to win right away. He said it himself, start investing in young players now and by QUATAR 2016 we will have a good team. Of course our football leaders never listened.

From JOSEPH KULANGWA, Rio de Janeiro, 9th October 2011 @ 13:00, Total Comments: 0, Hits: 164
FORMER national soccer team coach, Marcio Maximo, has confirmed his desire to make a sensational return to train the Taifa Stars, if the government will want him back.
Speaking to this reporter, Maximo, who met the Prime Ministers delegation, currently on official tour in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, revealed that he was in talks with one of the Brazilian clubs, but he would prefer a return to Tanzania instead if the offer comes up.
I dont have any problem (to return to Tanzania) and if President Kikwete (Jakaya) or Pinda (Prime Minister) will want me back, I will unreservedly because I love Tanzania, I did a lot to build the current national team, said Maximo.
He added: I understand that Tenga (Leodegar- the TFF President) cannot call for my services at the moment as TFF has a contract with another coach but if Kikwete or Pinda would ask him to, I hope he will.
Maximo, leading a new life back in his native Brazil, has been sorely missed in the Tanzania since he departed in July 2010 having won a reputation of reviving the countrys football.
His charisma and wit won him many admirers during his four years in the country and is credited for instilling professionalism and discipline among national team players.
Danish Jan Borge Poulsen, 64, the current Taifa Stars trainer, was appointed to take over from the Brazilian. Maximo seemingly faulted his successors tendency to embrace ''old'' players because they are plying their business abroad, while ignoring emerging young players.
He said: Now youre leaving out young players who need to be promoted and instead you are giving chances to aged players who are remained with only two years on the game.
Maximo was shocked on hearing that Mrisho Ngasa has been spending a lot of time on the Stars bench under Poulsens regime, whilst he is one of the best players the country has. He warned that keeping the mercurial winger out would only harm his talent.
We need to pay attention to young players potential and promote them, look I spotted Mbwana Samata and put him in the Taifa Stars squad, hes now playing professional football, those are benefits of keeping faith on young players, bragged Maximo.
Maximo said changing players was not bad but killing of the philosophy that requires the promotion of grassroots football was.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda and his delegation paid a visit to one of the worlds largest stadium, Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, where he was able to see renovations and upgrades taking place at the 82,238-seater stadium in preparations for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 Copa America, the 2016 Summer Olympics, and the 2016 Summer Paralympics.
While at the Estádio do Maracanã, Pinda had a glimpse of memorable records such as footprints of Brazilian football legends including Edson Arantes dos Nascimento-Pele and Pele's 1000th career goal for Santos against Vasco on 19 November 1969 and the net that was used on that match.
The delegation also witnessed a statue of football legend Arthur Antunes Coimbra, better known as Zico, who is the top scorer in Maracanã Stadium's history, having scored 500 goals.
