No Decision Has Been Made Regarding Luphahla's Status - Bosso CEO

No Decision Has Been Made Regarding Luphahla's Status - Bosso CEO

Highlanders say no decision has been made regarding assistant coach Joel Luphahla’s status, who doesn’t hold the requisite qualifications to sit on the Premier Soccer League (PSL) bench.

It is mandatory for PSL coaches to possess a CAF “A” badge or equivalent. Luphahla is a holder of a CAF “C” Licence.

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has emphasized that they will not be making any exemptions anymore.

Highlanders chief executive officer Ronald Moyo on Thursday dismissed reports that Luphahla has resigned from the club. Moyo said:

Let me set the record straight on the resignation letter. If there is such a letter, it has not come to my office and I can confirm that I have never received such a letter.

It has not come to my attention. Maybe it will come in the future but as far as I am concerned there is no such letter.

Luphahla is said to be on his way to MWOS FC, a team that is based in Norton and will be competing in the ZIFA Northern Region Division One league this year.

Moyo said head coach Baltemar Brito and the other assistant Antonio Torres are expected in the country in the next two weeks. He said:

We have been planning for our pre-season as usual as you know that Joel is working together with coach Brito and Torres as one of the assistants, so we are planning for the season going ahead.

We are also aware as a club of ZIFA’s implementation of a resolution that was made a few years ago that all coaches and their assistants should be CAF “A” holders. We are aware of that and the coach (Luphahla) is aware of that.

He is working on his qualifications and as a club, we are cognisant of the fact that we have a running contract with the coach.

If there is anything that happened during the course of the pre-season; we will communicate.

But as things stand, he is assisting coach Brito, there is no resignation letter and no decision that has been made.

Torres, a holder of a Uefa “B” licence, was also not cleared to sit on the bench in the course of the season last year.

Highlanders are reportedly mulling registering Torres as a physical trainer while Luphahla could also be re-assigned in the club’s technical structure. | NewsDay

if Bosso fails to have Luphahla on the bench the struggle begins cause Brito can't make it with his experiments he is good in coaching toys they must approach Kaindu or Philani but how come ,a team has two coaches both with language barriers to players Brito speaks then the other one interpret imagine what scenario will it be during game time the admin should re think about this we need good team this time and they should have started practising cause we don't want mahumbwe and matope at BF this time with our hard earned money 2023 Bosso conquers

This LAW of saying CAF A holders only should sit on the bench in psl is way to strict for a poor nation like Zimbabwe where most people can't even afford CAF C course and these courses are only done in Harare . clubs are now being forced to recycle coaches and this is bad . CAF ABC should be allowed to coach in psl and clubs themselves should be the ones to decide which licence holder that they want to coach their team.
