GENESIS Mangombe is caught between a rock and a hard place.
With just three weeks left for his camp to make their way to the Confederation Cup and also turn around their fortunes in the domestic league, the going seems to be getting tough for the gaffer.
His wish was to bolster his strike-force during the mid-season transfer window period.
But, the coach did not get what he wanted.
After the game against Bikita Minerals, Mangombe and his players were targeted by some irate fans.
“We are in urgent need of fine strikers because we are creating chances but week-in-week-out we are crying for the lack of conversion,” said Mangombe.
“Time is running out, the window is wide open but now because of somethings, which are beyond my control, I cannot do much.”
DeMbare are currently in SEVENTH place on the table.
“According to my wishes, we should have registered a striker in the early stages when the window opened,” said Mangombe.
“However, we now have to try our best to use what we have because we need to play the games anyway.
“We have tried to rotate the strikers but goals are not coming and sometimes it is frustrating, I even understand how the supporters feel because this is a big club, and they have expectations.”
Interestingly, this is not the first time that Dynamos have disregarded the coach’s demands.
Ahead of the start of this season, the club also failed to address Mangombe’s needs when he presented a wish-list that included Walter Musona, Mthokozisi Msebe, Obriel Chirinda and Khama Billiat.
He also wanted the club to keep midfielder Junior Makunike.
“Unfortunately, we are an executive that does not speak with one voice which is why our things either go in circles or decisions take long to be made,” revealed an executive member.
“The painful thing is that if you look at the players that he (Mangombe) wanted, they are doing wonders at the clubs that they eventually signed for.”
