Chicken Inn have expressed their disappointment on Zifa after Joey Antipas\u2019 appointment in the Warriors technical team on Wednesday<\/p>\n
The gaffer was named as the first assistant of head coach Zdravko Logarusic.<\/p>\n
The appointment has, however, sparked controversy as the Gamecocks\u2019 leadership claims it was not consulted before.<\/p>\n
In an interview with the Chronicle, the club\u2019s secretary-general, Tawengwa Hara, said Antipas only applied for the vacancy of head coach and his appointment as the assistant was not supposed to take place.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone at the club is shocked how Zifa announced the appointment of our employee as Chicken Inn FC without talking to us.<\/p>\n
\u201cAntipas is Chicken Inn\u2019s head coach and it\u2019s surprising that they (Zifa) appointed him to the position of national team assistant coach when he had not applied for that job.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had applied for the Warriors\u2019 top job and we were prepared for anything that would have arisen had he been successful,\u201d said Hara.<\/p>\n
The secretary-general added that the club will talk with Antipas who recently signed a new contract with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat Zifa has done is similar to a club that announces signing a player contracted to another club without Club A communicating with Club B. Our last agreement with Zifa regarding Antipas ended in December last year. We are going to sit as a club, speak to Antipas and find out what he wants,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Antipas was the interim coach of the national team from August until December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
