The Wakundu wa Msimbazi got off the month with a comfortable 3-1 away win over Tanzania Prisons.

Robertinho and his charges have won all their six league matches this season.

They currently sit second on the Tanzania Premier League table with 18 points, having played a game fewer than leaders and nemesis, Young Africans SC.

Meanwhile, still in October, Simba managed two stalemates (1-1 and 2-2) against continental powerhouses Al Ahly in the quarterfinals of the African Football League.

The team also drew one-all with Zambia's Power Dynamos in the CAF Champions League last month.

It should be noted that Robertinho has built himself a name as one of the best coaches in East Africa, as he also clinched the 2021/22 Uganda Premier League Coach of the Season.
