FORMER CAPS United captain, Tapuwa Khumbuyani, regrets not acquiring coaching badges when he was still playing.<\/p>\n
He hung up his boots two years ago, after a 15-year career, which started at Chapungu in 2003.<\/p>\n
“I am at home relaxing, you know with this Covid-19, there is nothing much we can do,” he said yesterday.<\/p>\n
“I think, if it was not for the situation we are in, I could have worked on my coaching badges by now.<\/p>\n
“I was very reluctant to do the badges while I was still a player and it is difficult now because of Covid-19.<\/p>\n
“There are no courses at the moment and I don’t see myself doing them anytime soon until the situation gets stable.<\/p>\n
“If I had done that long back, I could be looking forward to doing something which has got to do with developing soccer.”<\/p>\n
Khumbuyani said footballers always fall into the same trap.<\/p>\n
“We tend to relax as players and it’s something I have seen for myself,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I think we need to be focused, during our playing days, and get these badges if one needs to venture into coaching after retirement.<\/p>\n
“The courses come once in a while and it’s wise to utilise the opportunities we get while we are still active.<\/p>\n
“I would love it to remain in the sport and give back to my community.”<\/p>\n
Khumbuyani, a former Airforce of Zimbabwe employee, started his career as a striker but was moved to the right back position by coach Misheck Chidzambwa at Chapungu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
