Coaching Career

Shabanie Mine Football Club

Chiragwi resigned as Shabanie Mine's head coach in June 2018, reportedly in protest over a lack of support from the club hierarchy.^[1]

Shabanie Mine had lost 4-0 to FC Platinum the previous week and the club responded by hiring Rowan Nenzou, Gerald Phiri, Elvis Muuya, and Alexio Sijioni to strengthen the technical department.

This resulted in Chiragwi tendering his resignation from the club.

Matsapa United Football Club (Eswatini)

In 2019, Chiragwi became the first Zimbabwean coach to win his first game in charge of a club in Eswatini when his side Matsapha United beat Malanti Chiefs 4-3 on penalties after the match had ended 1-1 in the playoffs of the 2019/ 20 Eswatini Posts and Telecommunications Corporation Charity Shield.^[2]

Ngezi Platinum Stars Football Club

Chiragwi was appointed Ngezi Platinum Stars first assistant coach on 29 March 2022.

He was made the first assistant to head coach Benjani Mwaruwari, while Bongani Mafu was appointed the second assistant coach.

When Benjani and the other technical staff members were fired on 25 July 2022, Ngezi Platinum Stars retained Chiragwi and appointed him the caretaker coach with Kifton Kadurira as his assistant.

Chiragwi was appointed as Ngezi Platinum Stars substantive coach on 28 November 2022 on a three-year deal.^[3] A statement issued by the club read:
