Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The ZIFA Normalisation Committee (NC) says it will announce the coach for the senior men\u2019s football team (the Warriors) in the coming weeks, reported NewsDay.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference held at the ZIFA offices in Milton Park, Harare on Friday, 12 January, ZIFA NC chairperson Lincoln Mutasa said that they are nearing completion of the recruitment process.<\/p>\n

Mutasa, who was flanked by his deputy Cynthia Malaba and the association secretary general Yvonne Mapika Manwa, said:<\/p>\n

We know that stakeholders are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the coaches.<\/p>\n

The good news is that we are nearing completion of the recruitment process and the names will be revealed in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

Mutasa said that they picked the names of the coaches from a pool of people who applied last time.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have been without a coach since the end of December 2023 after the ZIFA NC decided against renewing Baltemar Brito\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian was appointed national team coach in September last year on a short-term deal that ran concurrently with his contract with Highlanders, due to work permit issues.<\/p>\n

Brito presided over two World Cup Qualifiers against Rwanda and Nigeria in November, picking up two points.<\/p>\n

His second assistant, Genesis Mangombe, who is Dynamos\u2019 head coach, is rumoured to be ZIFA NC\u2019s preferred choice to succeed Brito.<\/p>\n

NewsDay reported sources as saying Mangombe has been selected for continuity\u2019s sake.<\/p>\n

The immediate task of the yet-to-be-named Warriors coach will be to prepare a team for World Cup qualifiers in June.<\/p>\n
