Try Ncube ready for Bosso challenge

NEW Highlanders assistant coach Try Ncube says he is ready to give it his all to ensure the club does well.

Speaking to Zimpapers Sports Hub on his first day of duty and formal introductions to the club, Ncube said it was an honour to be joining the black and white family.

“It feels great to be joining Highlanders at this moment. I am looking forward to giving it my all and helping the team achieve its goals. It’s a big step for me as a coach and l believe l am ready to work with the rest of the technical team at this big club,” said Ncube.

The 49-year-old coach says he won’t feel entirely new as he knows almost all the players in the squad.

“It’s an advantage that l know most of the players in the squad and l am looking forward to working with them. I believe l have done fairly well to deserve this opportunity to be at this club. For me, this is not only a big move, it is a huge move,” said Ncube.

The coach is said to have been impressive in interviews carried out last week by some members of the executive, including vice-chairman Fiso Siziba, secretary Morgan Dube, chief executive officer Ronald Moyo and head coach Kelvin Kaindu.

The coach is about to complete his Caf A licence and has over the past months been a student in Tanzania.

He led Bulawayo City to the Southern Region Division One title in 2019. Ncube resigned from City in January 2021 to take on a new challenge at Mosi Rovers but left the Victoria Falls-based team without being in charge of a single match since domestic football had been suspended as part of measures to curb the spread of the corona virus.

He later joined Hwange where he was assistant coach to Bongani Mafu before Bosso snatched him. Mafu has since congratulated Ncube on his latest appointment. “Well done Coach Try Ncube for penning a three-year contract with Bosso. I told you four years ago uzayicoacher leya. Do your thing and stay away from multiple advisors, they may lead you away from yours and your head coach’s philosophy licine lingazi whether you are coming or going,” said Mafu.

The club is racing against time to appoint the second assistant coach as the season is primed for an early start.

It is expected to begin on February 24.
