It Feels Good To Be Back: Mangwiro
New Triangle coach Tawurayi Mangwiro says he is happy to be back practicing as a coach.
Mangwiro was fired by Harare City in May last year and spent some time on the sidelines before he was appointed Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) Technical Director in September.
“It feels good to be back practising and after being shown the exit at Harare City I ended assuming duty at ZIFA as technical director and when the opportunity arose at Triangle I felt I needed to come back since I feel I have unfinished business coaching and developing players.
The 47-year-old coach who replaced David Mandigora to become Triangle’s fifth coach in five years is a holder of CAF A licence and a German international B licence and is also a CAF regional instructor.
The former Harare City Coach said his desire of identifying and nurturing players made him leave his job as Zimbabwe Football Association’s Technical director.
“I still feel there is a lot I can do to help develop players in the country, yes, I was doing a bit in developing coaches but I feel I have more to do with development and training of the players,” said Mangwiro.
Mangwiro signed a two year contract and was unveiled on Sunday at Gibbo stadium and introduced to the new technical team and players by Club secretary Abram Chinemaringa.
“Taurai Mangwiro is assuming the head coach’s role for this season going forward, Godfrey Tamirepi is coming as assistant coach while Innocent Chogugudza is our new goalkeeper’s trainer and with this new technical team we are looking forward to a good season going forward,” said Chinemaringa.
Triangle had a difficult 2016 season under club president Kempton Gwamura and sources said they have since appointed a new club president, Adelaide Chikunguru, who is also the Tongaat Hulett corporate affairs and communications executive.
