Former Warriors coach Charles Mhlauri is now into poultry farming after returning from the USA.<\/p>\n
Mhlauri spent twelve years in America where he was the director of coaching at a soccer academy before coming home to start a chicken project in Bulawayo.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Thandazani Zimbwa of Television Sport Media, the two-time PSL winning coach said his project should be a reminder to both former and current players that they need forward planning as football careers don\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was coaching, I used to tell my players to plan ahead,\u201d said Mhlauri. \u201cAll teams I have coached, I always told my players to go back to school or get a qualification because soccer life has a short life span.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have seen professionals, not only in Zimbabwe but the world over, who make millions but when their careers end, it becomes a pathetic scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mhlauri says he has been leading by example and brought some players to his farm so that they get a reality check.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always try to lead by example, I have brought a few of my players here, and I would love to see them doing the same thing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m happy with Mkupali Masuku who is doing well in Gwanda. To me, that\u2019s good planning, and I want all these players to have a life after their soccer careers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can do better if we can equip them with the right education,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Mhlauri who also coached Amazulu and Masvingo United won back-to-back titles with CAPS United before leading the Warriors to their second-ever Afcon tournament in 2006. He is still in football and now has an academy in the USA called CM International.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
