The German tactician is no longer in charge of Tanzanian Premier League side Singida Fountain Gate following an apparent fallout with the club.
Middendorp, 64, took charge of the African club earlier this month, but departs just days after the team’s 1-0 win over Egypt’s Future Stars in the CAF Confederation Cup this past weekend.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Middendorp claims to have had his decision-making process interfered with by the club.
The German also said the Tanzanian team’s management expressed their disappointment with Singida’s performance in the Confederation Cup after calling a meeting with the coach and his technical staff.
Middendorp stated that he expected words of praise in the meeting and that, from their view, the “game was not up to standard”.
