On July 9, 2019, the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) made a decision to relieve Emmanuel Amuneke of his job as the coach of the Taifa Stars.
The move came after the team's poor performance in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where they were eliminated in the group stage.
The Taifa Stars suffered a series of defeats, including a 2-0 loss to Senegal, a 3-2 loss to Kenya, and a 3-0 defeat to Algeria.
