THE Fashion Maradona is coming back to town!
Kelvin “KK” Kaindu is heading back to Bulawayo, and this time the stylish Hardrock coach will walk into Barbourfields Stadium as an opponent when his side faces former club Highlanders in their Castle Lager
Premier Soccer League Week 29 showdown.
Forget the touchline theatrics for a moment.
Forget the footballing history.
There is another small matter that could keep Bulawayo talking, what will Kaindu wear?
The Hardrock gaffer has developed a reputation for turning heads with his smart dress code, and his return to Barbourfields promises to add a splash of fashion to what should already be a highly charged football occasion.
Kaindu will be back in town, and the Fashion Maradona will be back in his natural habitat, the football touchline!
Only this time, he will be standing in the opposite technical area.
The former Highlanders coach will know the Barbourfields surroundings intimately, but the welcome is likely to be very different with the black-and-white faithful hoping their team gets the better of his Hardrock outfit.
For Kaindu, however, it will be about more than simply returning to familiar territory.
It will be about points.
Hardrock have established themselves as one of the competitive sides in the league this season, and they will arrive in Bulawayo determined to make their visit count.
Highlanders, meanwhile, will be equally eager to make their home advantage tell as the race for valuable league points intensifies.
But somewhere between the tactics, tackles and touchline instructions, there could be another little subplot.
The Kaindu catwalk!
Will it be a blazer?
A suit?
A classic KK combination?
Or perhaps something completely unexpected?
Whatever the answer, the Fashion Maradona is coming back to town.
And Barbourfields is ready for the show.
Football boots? Absolutely.
Tactical board? Definitely.
Fashion statement? You can count on it!
Now, let the football do the talking.
