Nooij to stay on with Mambas

The Mozambican Football Federation will renew the contract of national team coach Mart Nooij following rumours he had been axed earlier this year.
The Dutchman will sign a new contract to coach the Mambas on Friday, according to a report in Noticias yesterday.
Nooij’s future with the Mambas was in danger after the team failed to progress to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola in January.
At the time, Feizal Sidat, president of the FMF, said: “We are going to remodel our coaching team. The results did not match expectations.”
He later said he did not necessarily mean Nooij would be fired.
Noticias reported that Nooij's salary was the disputed factor, with the coach demanding an increase of his monthly paycheck from R75 000 to R175 000. The parties finally agreed on R150 000, the newspaper said.
