BREAKING: One month’s salary for Senong?

HIGHLANDERS may pay former coach Thabo Senong one month’s salary, after his contract was reportedly contingent on the approval of his work permit.

A source close to the matter told Zimpapers Sports Hub that the payment would depend on the outcome of his work permit application, which is still pending.
“The club may pay Thabo Senong one month’s salary, but that will depend on whether his work permit is approved, which is still pending,” the source said.

Senong was initially appointed as head coach on a two-year deal and signed with Bosso late last year.

However, the club later restructured its technical team, appointing Benjani Mwaruwari, originally meant to be technical director, as head coach, while Senong was offered a position as assistant coach.

Highlanders’ Chief Executive Officer, Mnkandla, confirmed that discussions were ongoing.
“A settlement is being negotiated with Coach Thabo, who, unfortunately, could not take up his duties at the club. Further role explorations also took place, although an agreement could not be reached in that regard. We hope this process will bring finality to this chapter and keep the door open for future collaboration. The club cannot comment further on details in the process or agreements, including what transpired,” he said.
