THE Green Machine is grinding through gears, and it’s Ian Bakala who’s stepping into the hot seat while club legend Lloyd Chitembwe is shuffled out of the dugout!
In a dramatic turn of events, CAPS United have announced a major shake-up in their technical team, with former midfield maestro Ian Bakala returning as assistant coach, and Chitembwe redeployed as technical director.
A new head coach will be unveiled on Thursday, as the Harare giants scramble to fix a disastrous start to the season that sees them hovering just above relegation in 15th place, a far cry from their title-chasing glory days.
“Ian Bakala will serve as assistant head coach in the new technical team,” confirmed club president Farai Jere at a Monday presser.
“Lloyd Chitembwe remains with the club as technical director. A new coaching structure will be revealed before our Herentals clash this weekend.”
The bold overhaul is a clear vote of no confidence in Chitembwe’s reign on the touchline, but the club insists his experience is still needed, just not in the dugout.
B-Metro Verdict: Makepekepe are in crisis mode. It’s out with the old, in with the rebuild. Can Bakala help revive the sleeping giants, or is this just a reshuffle on a sinking ship?
