Coach Yussif Basigi is set to leave Hasaacas Ladies after an impressive 21-year tenure to join Tanzania’s Simba Queens. Basigi has been a pivotal figure in the club’s history, playing a significant role in its formation in 2003 and steadily rising through the ranks to become the head coach.
During his time at Hasaacas, Basigi led the team to remarkable achievements, including winning four Ghana Women’s Premier League titles. His leadership was instrumental in the club’s success on the continental stage as well, highlighted by their victory in the CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU Zone B Qualifiers in 2021. This achievement propelled Hasaacas Ladies to the final of the African Women’s Champions League in their inaugural appearance, marking a significant milestone not just for the club but for Ghanaian women’s football as a whole.
Basigi’s departure signifies the end of a highly successful era for Hasaacas Ladies, where he has been a driving force in shaping the team into a formidable contender in African women’s football. Known for his tactical acumen and ability to nurture talent, he has left an indelible mark on the club and its players.
As he embarks on his next challenge with Simba Queens, Basigi is expected to bring his extensive experience and proven track record of success to Tanzanian football, where he will aim to replicate the achievements he had at Hasaacas. His transition to Simba Queens promises to be an exciting chapter in his career, and fans are eager to see how his leadership will influence the team’s future.
