Warriors caretaker coach Joey “Mafero” Antipas, who is believed to have resigned from his job as the national team coach opened up and set the record straight just after landing at the Robert Mugabe International airport yesterday.
Mafero, as he is best known in football circles, revealed that the entire technical team signed six months contracts when they were hired by the country’s football governing body, ZIFA.
The two parties agreed that the technical team was to take charge of six matches, two Chan, back to back Africa Cup of nations (AFCON) preliminary match against Somalia as well as the Botswana and the Zambia matches.
However, Mafero said it was now up to ZIFA to put in place substantive Warriors technical team after the current interim technical team had done and completed the job that they were contracted to do by the football governing body.
The technical team includes Harare City head coach Lloyd Chitembwe, Dynamos head coach Tonderai Ndiraya and goalkeepers coach Tembo Tshuma.
“I think this is our last match in charge,” reveal Antipas.
“From the time that we were offered the job, we signed contracts that spelt very well that we were going to take charge of the team for six matches only, that is two Chan matches, the two back to back Africa Cup of Nations preliminary matches against Somalia and the two matches against Botswana and Zambia.
I think we have done our best and we await to hear from ZIFA,” said Antipas
