ZIFA terminates Pasuwa's contract

In a letter signed by acting ZIFA General Secretary Joseph Mamutse, the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) terminated Warriors Coach Kalisto Pawusa’s contract citing recommendations made by the High Performance Committee which met last Friday deliberating on performance of all national football teams in the year 2016.

The committe strongly recommended that ZIFA should not renew the Pasuwa’s contract mentioning Warriors’ results at the 2016 COSAFA Castle Cup in Namibia, the 2015 African Nations Championships in Rwanda and the Nations Cup finals in Gabon as a basis to support their argument that the coach had failed to take the national team to another level.

Pasuwa had signed a two-year performance-based contract with ZIFA which was subject to review after the 2017 African Cup of Nations.
