Harare giants Caps United rehired Coach Lloyd Chitembwe whom they had dismissed last season for failure to produce results with the Green Machine. Chitembwe has not been attached with any club in the top flight league since leaving MaKepeKepe - but returns to replace Maxwell Takaendesa Jongwe who had a tough short-term tenure with the former Cup Kings.

Two months ago, Jongwe dumped Kiglon to become Moses “Bambo” Chunga’s successor at Caps United. He is back again at Kiglon after 41 days of failure with the Green Machine – leaving Chitembwe in the spotlight.

“It just shows how unprincipled the local administrators are. They said he (Chitembwe) was not producing results. Now what has he achieved for them to say they are taking him back?” Nyoni questioned.

“The problem with our administrators is that they are also supporters in a way. They don’t communicate well. What local fans want are results and once big clubs like Caps United, Dynamos or Highlanders hire a coach with no record of winning something before, then they are bound to doubt him.

“Caps United administrators should have approached their fans and explained to them that after releasing their quality players to South Africa it was going to be tough remaining Cup Kings. The Caps United team their fans have in mind has changed. They reminisce of the Caps United Shaky Tauro - and that needs to be explained to them.”

It appears the order of the day in the Castle Premier Soccer League for participating clubs to sack the head coach each time a team runs for three matches without a point. This is despite the fact that the remedy lies in signing good quality players, who are experienced enough to win matches.

Even when former Dynamos head coach Lloyd Mutasa argued that he was rebuilding the Glamour Boys, after they had lost a handful of experienced players last season, he was dismissed a fortnight ago. His former assistant Calisto Pasuwa replaced him.

“They (Mutasa and Pasuwa) are the same level of coaches and to make matters worse they appointed him as a caretaker coach. A big club like Dynamos has no time for experiments with a caretaker coach. Unfortunately for Mutasa there is no time to rebuild at DeMbare either, these people want a coach who can win them something.

But the problem is that the club officials know they need results and they go on to hire a coach who has no record of any achievements and pile too much expectations on him, obviously he will fail to deliver,” argued Nyoni. So should the local administrators have no confidence in local coaches?

“No! We have good coaches in Zimbabwe. Dynamos and Monomotapa managed to reach the highest stage of the Caf Champions League through local coaches David Mandigora, Elvis Chiweshe and Rodwell Dhlakama; we qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations with Sunday Chidzambwa showing that we have the quality of coaches to make things happen,” he said.

“But besides the fault with local administrators, coaches have their own problems in failing to realize their weaknesses. Some of these coaches are just trainers and some are good in leading the team during the match. Bambo is not a bad coach but he fails to realize and appreciate the power of the people he is good working with.

“Now he is back winning at Gunners and he is in the same company he was when he led them to the championship title. He needs to appreciate the assistance of those people, and understand that they complement his coaching.

“Mutasa had done a good thing in realizing that he is good working with Pasuwa when he suggested Dynamos hire them both but sadly for him the administrators at DeMbare had their own choices. It is up to coaches to be able to stamp their conditions with administrators and avoid being desperate when negotiating their deals. Even in England, most team managers sit and observe training while they are assisted with different aspects of training.”
