Zimbabwe Warriors fans are urging the Zimbabwe Football Association to formally engage interim coach Norman Mapeza following the team’s 3-1 win against Malawi’s Flames in an Africa Cup qualifier Sunday at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo.
Sports commentator Michael Kariati told sports reporter Marvellous Mhlanga-Nyahuye of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that Warriors fans want ZIFA to stop trying to recruit a foreign coach and give the position to Mapeza, a former member of the Warriors who they believe could inspire the team to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
