DESPITE leading Castle Lager Premier Soccer League newboys Bikita Minerals to a decent start to life in the top-flight, Saul Chaminuka may be on the verge of quitting the lithium miners.
Chaminuka has hinted that he is not a happy man at Bikita Minerals and has now been strongly linked with a cross over to Green Fuel, where the coaching job became vacant following the departure of Rodwell Dhlakama and his assistant Darlington Dodo.
Sources told Zimpapers Sports Hub that Chaminuka has also emerged among the front runners to replace Dhlakama at ambitious Green Fuel.
The sources indicated that a deal is expected to be thrashed out in time to allow Chaminuka to lead Green Fuel when they travel to Mandava for a date against former champions FC Platinum on Saturday.
Green Fuel chairman Fredson Moyo could not be reached for a comment, while Chaminuka declined to discuss the matter and referred all questions to the Chisumbanje outfit.
The experienced Chaminuka has lately won admiration for the brave manner in which he tried to save Black Rhinos from relegation.
Despite Bikita having a delayed start to the Premiership, Chaminuka has found a way to mould them into a competitive outfit.
Before settling for Bikita Minerals, Chaminuka who has also previously seen duty in Eswatini, received several offers at the beginning of this season, including a chance to return to relegated Triangle United, a team he coached more than 15 years ago in the ZIFA Eastern Region Division One.
He however, chose to remain in the Premiership where he has done well with Bikita Minerals winning three, secured as many draws and lost twice.
Bikita Minerals sit on eighth position on the 18-team log table with 12 points and six behind leaders Highlanders who have played a game more.
Although he was reluctant to discuss his immediate future, Chaminuka suggested he was being frustrated when he posted: “The most difficult thing is working for people who do not appreciate you but further sabotage your efforts,” on one of his social media platforms.
