FORMER Warriors and Kaizer Chiefs defender, Zhaimu Jambo, has revealed his desire to become the national Under-17 coach.
The ZIFA Normalisation Committee are hunting for a substantive coach for the Under-17s and Jambo revealed he is among those who have submitted their CVs.
Jambo is currently attached to Kaizer Chiefs, where he is championing the development of the team’s Under-15 side.
The 36-year-old was handed his first coaching role by Chiefs in 2020 and he believes he has proved his capacity to develop youngsters.
‘It is my biggest wish to contribute to the development of Zimbabwean football. I have acquired a lot of knowledge during my time as a footballer and also as a developmental coach.
“I have also applied for the Young Warriors job because I feel like I have a lot to offer.
“I’m also interested to learn from those who have more experience in the dugout, I will be happy to be also preferred as an assistant coach.”
He added: “I’m enjoying everything at Chiefs, they have helped me in many ways to develop myself as a coach.
‘’I was very privileged to progress through the national team’s junior ranks, I played for the Under-17, 20, 23, and the senior team.
“This is a plus for me because I know how the system works and what is needed for these youngsters to play top-level football.
“I just need this opportunity to give back to the country that made it possible for me to become a better person.”
