The reason behind Aucho’s departure seems to be a disagreement over contract renewal terms.

Yanga SC offered him a one-year extension, but Aucho was looking for a two-year deal. He reportedly received a lucrative offer from a club in Israel and is expected to leave Tanzania soon to reunite with former Yanga striker Kennedy Musonda.
