Zifa in no hurry to appoint Pasuwa's successor

ZIFA vice-president Omega Sibanda yesterday told The Herald that the association’s leadership was in no hurry at the moment and were likely to convene a meeting this week to chart the way forward.

Said Sibanda:

Look here, Pasuwa’s contract has just expired, I think some four to five days ago. It is worthy to note that out of respect for him we couldn’t do anything until he had served his contract up to its end. We could not engage anyone during that period because we had to respect him as our coach. But now that it has come to an end we have to ensure that we have something in place. Obviously we need a coach as soon as yesterday but we have to do things properly. Hopefully, by the end of this week, we should be able to know where we are going from here.

He said they will not limit themselves to home-grown talent in the face of a strong debate that Zimbabwe has succeeded in the past under local coaches while foreigners like Valinhos and Tom Sainfeit have left ZIFA in all sorts of problems in deals that went sour.
