Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former Highlanders and Caps United winger Gabriel \u201cGranvia\u201d Nyoni dreams of becoming Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) president, a position currently held by Felton Kamambo.<\/p>\n

Nyoni suffered a career-threatening injury several months ago but has started working towards a possible return to the field.<\/p>\n

He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at his Glad Africa Division One side, Cape Umoya in Durban.<\/p>\n

Nyoni told B-Metro during a recent interview that he is currently taking football administration courses to prepare for a possible return to football as an administrator. Said Nyoni:<\/p>\n

I am very optimistic. The Bible says as a man thinketh so is he so I remain thinking positively about the future and the possibility of playing football again.<\/p>\n

But even if the worst comes to the worst, I still want to remain in football.<\/p>\n

And so, for now, I will be taking football administration courses to prepare for a possible return to football as an administrator.<\/p>\n

I have a dream to one day become ZIFA president and lead Zimbabwean football out of its continuous downturn.<\/p>\n

Nyoni\u2019s revelation of his ZIFA aspirations come at a time when retired footballers, young and old, have intensified efforts of getting one of their own into local football\u2019s highest office.<\/p>\n
