He said:<\/p>\n<p>I am not commenting on any recent developments in certain clubs but what I can tell you is that we have not yet received any application for a waiver on any coach who intends to work as a head coach for a Premiership team.<\/p>\n<p>Look, our rules and regulations in terms of club licensing requirements state that only coaches with a CAF A licence can be head coach for a club playing in the Premier Soccer League.<\/p>\n<p>Exceptions are only given under special circumstances that is after an application is made by the club intending to appoint individuals who do not have the requisite qualification.<\/p>\n<p>There are special cases in the league which have been addressed but at the moment no team has come forward with any application pertaining to that issue.<\/p>\n<p>Ngezi Platinum Stars face Bulawayo Chiefs at Luveve on Sunday and Benjani might miss the match if the issue is not dealt with in time for the game.<\/p>\n<p>Ndebele asserted that the rules are clear no coach without a CAF A Licence can sit on the bench leading a premiership club. He said:<\/p>\n<p>The rules are clear and are there for everyone to see. Club Licensing is a serious matter and as a country, we all agreed that no coach without a CAF A Licence is allowed to sit on the bench leading a top-flight team.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe the good thing is those clubs affected may apply for a waiver and depending on their situation, they can always be allowed to do so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
