He also coached Singapore Armed Forces FC in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Executive Committee has been satisfied with Poulsen&#8217;s good track record and certainly, we believe he has got the qualities to help transform our youth soccer system,&#8221; said Osiah.<\/p>\n<p>The Dane will join his compatriot Jan Poulsen, who is the senior national team&#8217;s Taifa Stars head coach and Osiah said the decision to bring in a Dane coach at the youth ranks aimed at making sure that there was a harmonisation of philosophies from the youth to senior team level.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is certain that coaches who comes from the same country will not differ that match in terms of philosophy and this will help players who earn promotion from the youth to senior level to adopt into the system quite easily&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>However, Osiah could not explain the role of local coach Jamhuri Kihwelo, who was picked as a caretaker coach and successfully managed to see the Under 23 side into the second round of the Africa Olympic Games qualifiers, after dumping out mighty and former Olympic Games gold winners Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>More:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201105230616.html\" title=\"Danish Coach Succeeds Rodrigo\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Danish Coach Succeeds Rodrigo<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Tanzania Daily News (Dar\u00a0es\u00a0Salaam) 19 May 2011 THE Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has appointed Danish coach Kim Poulsen (52) to take charge of the national youth soccer teams.
