It has not been an easy start to life in Dar es Salaam for the German tactician. In the two matches Ramovic has managed so far since taking the reins of Yanga, he has suffered defeats to Al Hilal Omdurman and MC Alger in the CAF Champions League.

Despite the tough start, the chiefs of the Jangwani Street giants have decided to back the 45-year-old in an effort to get their continental campaign up and running. They have subsequently entered the transfer market to provide defensive cover and have signed Israel Patrick Mwenda on a six-month loan.

According to The Citizen, the Tanzania international is expected to provide competition for current first-choice right-back Kouassi Yao.

The Ivorian has been an ever-present for the record Tanzanian Premier League champions this campaign, starting all of Yanga's Champions League matches thus far.

However, with attacking midfielders such as Dennis Nkane believed to be utilised in the position at times, the East African giants have decided that Mwenda will help improve the squad depth required for the club to have a resurgence in African football's premier club competition.
