Harare giants CAPS United have announced the departure of the club’s Chief Executive Officer and legend Charlie Jones.
Describing Jones’ departure as unexpected, the statement by Board and Presidium said the club announced his leaving “with both misery and gratitude.”
The Green Machine’s Board and Presidium thanked Jones for his service to the club in the past year.
“It is with both misery and gratitude that we announce the unexpected departure of Charlie Jones who has been the Chief Executive Officer of CAPS United Football Club after 13 months of service. Charlie Jones is a club and football legend whose business and football acumen was profoundly invaluable to the club,” read the statement.
During his tenure, according to the statement “Jones instilled vigorous transformative initiatives which will be beneficial to the club today and in the future.”
“His passion for football and love for Caps United is undeniable and was clear for all to see as he went about club business with great zeal.
“On behalf of the entire Caps United family, we wish Charlie Jones the absolute best in his future plans and endeavours. We will miss your humour and we will cherish all the good moments.”
Jones played football at the top level when he turned out as a speedy right-winger for Makepekepe and the now-defunct Arcadia United.
The former national team player Jones featured in the great CAPS United side that included players such as Stanford “Stix” Mutizwa and the late Joel “Jubilee” Shambo.
For close to four decades has been involved in football as a player, coach and administrator and has lately been into private business management.
