Amidst dissatisfaction from fans over the performance of the Warriors’ coach Zdravko Logarusic, the Zimbabwe Football Association(ZIFA) has stepped in with similar sentiments. A leaked conversation relating to the coach’s qualifications has lead ZIFA to start investigating the legitimacy of coach they hired.

A South African source that is cognisant of the investigations being carried out informed ZIFA of a huge scandal taking place amongst most European coaches. It is reported that some Uefa coaching badges are acquired unethically and such ‘coaches’ usually have just African clubs or national teams as reference in their CVs and no coaching experience in their native countries.

These ongoing investigations were sparked by an alleged email sent to the Kenyan Football Federation by Loga stating that he will be working on his Uefa Pro License soon. This revelation came as a surprise as Loga had previously stated that he had acquired his Pro License in 2013.

The scandal does not end there. After forwarding his license to the relevant officials, its signatories raised eyebrows yet again.Among the three signatures was said to have been one belonging to a recently convicted fraudster and tax evader Damir Vrbanovic of Croatia.

Investigations are still underway and ZIFA technical director, Wilson Mutekede has reportedly already forwarded a request to a Uefa instructor to check the legitimacy of Loga’s coaching license.

Our warriors managed to beat Botswana with a score of 1-0 on the Botswana team’s own turf leaving Zimbabwe at 8 points. The match took place at Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown. The winning goal was scored by Perfect Chikwende. This took place after a series of troubles. For starters some of the players that were needed to complete the warriors team were still stuck in Australia.

Wilson Mutekede who is the technical advisor to ZIFA was ecstatic over this victory and is certain Zimbabweans were too. He shared the following statements:

“We are very happy about what the Warriors did here and we believe that Zimbabweans are happy too.”

CAPS United FC, light-heartedly took to their twitter to say that the victory did not come as a surprise given the USD hard currency bought bus that Caps loaned them.

Luxurious Caps United Bus inspires Warriors to a historic win.

"There is no way we would lose a match if we use such a bus," said a Warriors technical team member who preferred anonymity.

NB: The bus was bought in USD hard currency.

Less pressure is now on Zimbabwe as they face the final qualifying match against Zambia next week at the National Sports Stadium. As a result of their great performance Zambia will not be able to catch up with Zimbabwe as they have only 4 points. Nonetheless, the warriors are expected to play well against Zambia in the coming match.

Other other hand, Algeria leads Zimbabwe with 3 points as they managed to settle at 11 points after their 3-3 draw with Zambia.

The warriors performance came as a great relief to their coach, Zdravko Logarusic, as he was being criticised over the Warriors’ disastrous performance in Chan 2021 where they lost all three matches.

Serious preparations for the AFCON finals in Cameroon will soon be underway to avoid the embarrassment of  the last tournament in Egypt  were they only managed to accumulate  just 1 point from three matches.

This Nations Cup qualification marks the fifth for the Warriors as they also qualified in the years 2004, 2006, 2017 and 2019.
