Tanzania coach Miguel Gamondi expressed pride and satisfaction after watching his side fight back to claim a 1–1 draw with Tunisia and keep their AFCON 2025 dream alive.
For him, the result was about much more than just a point.
Gamondi underlined how limited preparation time made this performance even more special, praising the collaboration between his staff, the federation and the players.
“I didn’t have enough time to prepare the team, but we worked together with the management and federation and feel very proud. Not just for myself but for the country.” He stressed that his mission from the start was to change the mentality around Tanzanian football and challenge the label of underdogs.
The Argentine coach described potential qualification as a powerful lesson for the game in Tanzania and a source of national pride.
“To qualify is a great learning for Tanzania who must be proud. I hope this will be a reminder to these players and the next generation of players on the potential of Tanzanian football,” he said, highlighting his belief that this campaign can inspire future stars.
