The Herald- IN their bid to avoid relegation and stay in the Premier Soccer League, Chegutu Pirates Football Club has hired veteran coach Maxwell Takaendesa Jongwe.
Pirates chairman Addmore Pikisayi Chivero said bringing the former Caps United and Yadah FC coach is a strategic move aimed at ensuring the team’s survival in the PSL.
Chivero said the decision to enlist the highly experienced gaffer was driven by the team’s technical shortcomings and went on to highlight that Jongwe is expected to lead the Pirates out of relegation zone.
“We have been lacking somewhere, so we thought of trying our luck with a new coach in our fight for survival in the PSL,” said Chivero.
He added that the Pirates mutually agreed to part ways with Day Gutu.
“I have a lot of respect for what Gutu did for the club. He did well and tried his best. He is also worried about the survival of the team, and I think we will be with him somewhere down the line.”
At his unveiling at Chegutu Country Club, Jongwe pledged to do his best to rescue the Pirates from the treacherous relegation zone.
