Pressure Mounts On Mangwiro As Triangle’s Bad Start Continues

Triangle Coach Tawurayi Mangwiro said he was not happy with his side’s bad start to the season which has not matched the kind of activity they showed on the transfer market when bringing in a number of new players.

The Sugar Sugar Boys bad start to the season continued Sunday when they slumped to a second straight defeat after going down 0-2 to visiting Ngezi Platinum at Gibbo Stadium.

“It is a terrible start to the season after losing to Shabanie in our first match. We had a really bad first half and we were unlucky to concede just one goal, we regrouped in the second half and we had a good game but that penalty we missed gave them confidence.

“We really wanted to start the season on a good note but we are on the back-foot. I have been in football for a long time and I know what it means.

“We need to make some big decisions if we are to change our fortunes,” Mangwiro said.

Mangwiro’s side lost their season opener 1-0 to Shabanie Mine at Mandava last Sunday and this kind of poor start doesn’t make life any easier for the former Monomotapa and Caps United coach.

The Sugar Sugar Boys will travel to Highlanders in their next assignment before hosting ZPC Kariba for matchday four.

With some pressure mounting on the coach, the two fixtures might as well make or break Mangwiro’s future as the Triangle management and supporters are demanding nothing less than a top-four finish this season.
