Chidzambga Backs Mapeza To Continue As Warriors Coach

Former Warriors and Dynamos coach Sunday “Mhofu” Chidzambga has backed Norman Mapeza to continue as the national team coach despite his failure to revive the Warriors’ 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign or to reach the knockout stages of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals in Cameroon.

Chidzambga, who took the Warriors to two AFCON finals, in 2004 and 2019, believes that one of the reasons behind the Warriors’ poor performances at tournaments is a lack of continuity in the technical department. Said Chidzambga:

I think our problem lies in the system we have in place. We don’t have a sound junior policy to ensure we continue to produce more talent.

The other problem is that we keep changing coaches, we don’t believe in continuity.

So it becomes difficult for us to progress as a football nation under these circumstances. Look at Germany, how long have they been with Joachim Löw, 15 years.

I believe Mapeza should be given the chance to continue and we put the right systems in place if we are to succeed as a nation.

Meanwhile, Mapeza’s contract ended last week following the Warriors’ early exit from AFCON.
