Denmark-based striker Kevin John is one of several players to profit from a change of coach for Tanzania, as he has won a recall to the squad six weeks on from the start of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 finals.

Miguel Gamondi has taken over from Hemed Suleiman and will take charge of the side for the first time as they meet Kuwait in a friendly in Cairo on 15 November.

He has named a 22-man squad, which sees the 22-year-old John back for the first time in 18 months.
