Tanzania: Singida Black Stars Appoint Congolese Coach Kimoto Ahead of 2026/27 Season
Singida Black Stars have named Congolese coach Papy Kimoto as their new head coach, according to AllAfrica, in a reshuffle of the technical bench ahead of the 2026/27 Tanzanian football season.
The appointment, originally reported by Daily News and carried by AllAfrica, places Kimoto at the helm of the Singida-based club as it prepares for the upcoming campaign. The move is framed as part of a broader restructuring of the club’s coaching staff rather than a stand-alone hire, with limited details of the deal disclosed.
Singida Black Stars compete in the Tanzanian Premier League, the country’s top-flight domestic competition, and are based in the central Singida region. The club has worked to establish itself among the league’s established sides since earning promotion to the top division, and managerial changes are a regular feature of the Tanzanian game as clubs seek a competitive edge in a tightly contested fixture list.
Kimoto is a native of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country with a long tradition of producing football coaches who work across Central and East Africa. Congolese trainers have taken charge of clubs and national teams throughout the region, and his arrival in Singida continues that flow of coaching talent into the Tanzanian top flight.
The 2026/27 season will mark Kimoto’s first full campaign in charge if the appointment takes effect on schedule. Singida Black Stars are expected to outline further details of their pre-season preparations and squad direction in the coming weeks.
