Former national under-17 coach Hababuu Ali Omary echoed Kihwelu's sentiments, praising Chama's versatility and ability to fit into any formation at Yanga
"The coach will have the right choice in every match and the right system. It is a good signing for the goals of domestic and international competitions as well," said Omary.
