Highlanders announce coach

Bosso are said to have formerly engaged the first team coach with a mocking one year contract. It is usually amateurish clubs and mentalities that do not have the balls to engage a coach on a proper long term basis.

Mkhuphali Masuku has been appointed substantive coach for the Bulawayo giants, who are said to have hired Jerry Sibanda as team manager. Masuku took the football world by storm last season, replacing the respected Mohammed Fathi to whom he was assistant.

It is not clear who will assist him, and whether he was given the mandate to romp his sidekick. Given that he has a one year job, it is very unlikely that his employer can give him that latitude.

Mr Cooper was taking no prisoners last season after taking over the crumbling wagon and glided through 9 successive wins and 2 unfortunate draw and a Cup final silver medal. He will be expected to pick up where he left when the season resumes this year.  

Highlanders will be operating with a different line-up as they are likely to lose a few key players who have run out of contracts and are looking for greener pastures. Hopefully, there will quality replacements available for Mr Cooper to prove his mantle.
