Bosso look for DNA solutions in Madinda

Ex-Highlanders coach Madinda a�?Khathazilea�? Ndlovu could bounce back to the Bulawayo side next year after the executive engaged him to replace Dutchman Erol Akbay.

Earlier this year Akbay indicated that he was not going to renew his contract with Bosso which runs out at the end of this month.

Acting club chairman Modern Ngwenya reportedly revealed that Highlanders were alsoA� negotiating with Rahman Gumbo.

Ngwenya also said How Mine assistant coach Bekithemba Ndlovu and former assistant coach Amin Soma Phiri who was forced to resign on allegations of sabotaging outgoing coach Akbay were some of the coaches under consideration.

a�?At the moment they are just rumours and speculations but the truth of the matter is that we are still talking to some of our sons.

a�?We made it clear that we are going to appoint a former Highlanders son who will produce players with a Highlanders DNA,a�? Ngwenya was recently quoted as saying.

a�?We want to go back to the drawing board and promote people who really understand the Bosso culture. We want a coach who knows how it is to don the black and white jersey. We have Madinda and Rahman whom we are heavily engaging so that they can rebuild the team,a�? he added.

However, Ndlovu who has won a number of medals in Botswana before is the front runner to succeed Akbay.

The former is reported to have agreed some terms with the club. Gumbo on the other hand will be a free agent soon as his contract with Chicken Inn is coming to an end at the at the end of this month.

Byo City to accommodateA� home seeker Gumbo?

When one door closes the other one opens!

These words might be ringing true for Rahman Gumbo who is also linked with a move to Bulawayo City.

City, who survived relegation on the last day of the season after clobbering youthful Bantu Rovers 5-0, are reportedly on the verge of parting their ways with their under fire head coach Mandla a�?Lulua�? Mpofu.

Mpofua��s, future will be decided after he defends his teama��s 2017 performance in a crunch meeting with the club executive on a date yet to be announced.

The club executive met last week to review the teama��s performance that saw City escaping relegation on the last day of the season after demolishing Bantu Rovers 5-0.

A defeat would have seen City being relegated to Division One just like their fellow municipal sponsored cousins, Harare City, who will be playing in the Zifa Northern Region in 2018 after failing to garner enough points to avoid the chop.

The marathon review meeting by the City executive, which covered a wide range of issues, did not make a decision on Mpofua��s future.

Yadah want to Ndiraya anointing

Ambitious and free spending Yadah FC are reportedly eyeing the signature of Ngezi Platinum Stars head coach Tonderai Ndiraya.

Yadah finished the 2017 season under the guidance of unheralded Thomas Ruzive and they had to survive relegation just before end of the season.

Luring Ndiraya to Yadah will however, be a mammoth task for the Prophet Walter Magaya sponsored side as the miners are also a free spending lot that is seriously hunting for their firstA� domestic league title.
