<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/FC_Platinum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FC Platinum</a> assistant coach <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Lizwe_Sweswe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lizwe Sweswe</a> has admitted that it is now a herculean task for his club to qualify for the knockout stages of the CAF Champions League.
Sweswe made the remarks following his club’s 1-1 with Egyptian giants Al Ahly at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Barbourfields_Stadium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barbourfields Stadium</a> on Saturday. He said:
<blockquote>It’s now tough because we wanted the three points so that we could stay in the competition.
I am happy about the improvement of the team compared to the previous games that we played against these three teams.
At least we have some positives and we take those as we look forward to the coming games.</blockquote>
The Zimbabwean champions lost their first three Group B and are now on 1 point while Sahel are on 9 points, Al Ahly on 7, and Al Hilal on 6 points after 4 games.
Even if FC Platinum win their last two games against Al Hilal of Sudan at home and Tunisian giants Étoile du Sahel away, it won’t be enough to progress to the quarter-finals.

It's Now Tough To Reach Knockout Stages - Sweswe

Zimbabwe’s under 17 women’s football team, Young Mighty Warriors lost 5-0 to neighbouring Botswana, a result that minimising their chances of qualifying to partake at the World Cup to be held in India in December.
Their coach Garthly Chipukasaid that the result does not reflect the game they played.
He also believes that a number of issues including the tender age of the majority of players had immense contribution to the disappointing result. He said:
<blockquote>Fact is there are a lot of factors and saying them would be seen as excuses.
… Injury to Emmaculate Zulu also contributed to our heavy defeat. Our right back also got injured. 
We just lacked mental strength. I think mainly because the bulk of our players are 14 years old and will be turning 15 this year.</blockquote>
He also said that delays at the border consumed much of their time needed for preparation and resting.
The Young Mighty Warriors also <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/01/02/young-mighty-warriors-world-cup-preparations-in-false-start-due-to-lack-of-resource/">had a false start to the preparations due to financial constraints.</a>

The Zimbabwe Football Association has indicated that it is financially handicapped to recruit a foreign coach whose salaries will definitely higher compared to those of a local coach.
This comes when the association is still looking for a coach for the senior men, the Warriors, a post which fell vacant following the resignation of Sunday Chidzambwa following the 2019 AFCON tournament in Egypt.
ZIFA Technical and Development Committee chairman Bryton Malandule told The Herald that they had received 14 applications from Eastern Europe and only one domestic. Malandule added:
<blockquote>Resources permitting, we want that coach who can add extra value to the quality that we already have in the calibre of our players. But we will obviously be guided by our finances.
As you know, foreign coaches don’t come cheap. Their salaries are usually pegged high up there and we should be able to meet his wage bill.</blockquote>
The Herald reports that Joey Antipas is likely to be hired for the job. Malandule’s remarks come when Zimbabwe has had clashes with coaches before over failure to pay them their salaries thereby attracting sanctions from FIFA.

Zimbabwe will host Sri Lanka for two test matches to be played in Harare this month, and this represents a return to test cricket for Zimbabwe for the first time since their tour of Bangladesh in November 2018.
The first game at the Harare Sports Club will be played from Jan. 19-23 and the second from Jan. 27-31. Coach Lalchand Rajput had this to say:
<blockquote>Sri Lanka is always a very competitive team who have been playing well and I am looking forward to the Test series.
For us, it’s a new beginning, a new chapter, and it’s good that we are starting off with the long version which always brings the best out of players.
We know our home conditions better, our players are getting match-fit and enjoying some game time. So all we have to do is to get in the middle and perform.</blockquote>
Zimbabwe are not part of the on-going ICC Test Championship and so no points will be up for grabs in the series.

Mane, who plays for Liverpool Football Club in the English Premier League, beat his club team-mate and Egypt forward Mohamed Salah and Manchester City’s Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez to the award.
The 27-year-old scored 30 goals in all competitions last season. He has scored 15 goals so far in 2019-20.
Mane helped the Reds win three major trophies in the past seven months – the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League title, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Club World Cup.
He collected his award at a ceremony in Hurghada, Egypt but neither Salah, who had won the award in both the past two years nor Mahrez were present.

WATCH: Why Liverpool Failed To Win EPL Title In 30 Years, And How The Curse Was Finally Broken

Dutch coach <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hendrik_Pieter_de_Jongh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hendrik Pieter De Jongh’s</a> vast experience in coaching various clubs and national teams in Asia, Europe and Africa is what led to his appointment as head coach at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/FC_Platinum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FC Platinum (FCP)</a>.
This was said by FCP chairman Evans Mtombeni when the nomadic coach was presented to the media at the unveiling ceremony on Monday. Said Mthombeni:
<blockquote>He is quite an experienced coach, someone who has coached various clubs and national teams in Africa.
… we felt his abilities can help us locally and in the CAF competitions as well in fulfilling our vision as the best team locally and also to improve in our participation in the Champions League. We are glad he signed a long-term contract.</blockquote>
De Jongh has coached football in Europe, Africa and Asia. Here, he won the Chibuku Super Cup with <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Highlanders_Football_Club" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Highlanders</a> last season.
FCP is in the CAF Champions League and has already lost all three games it has played so far this season – against Esperance, Al Hilal and Al Ahly.

Quest To Conquer Africa Drove FCP Into Signing Up De Jongh

Warriors striker <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tinotenda_Kadewere" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tino Kadewere’s</a> elder brother Prince Kadewere has been relieved of his duties as coach at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Football_Association_(ZIFA)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ZIFA</a> Northern Region Division One outfit Beta X1.
Kadewere said that he received a message from the club secretary-general Musa Bwana advising him that he was no longer the head coach of Beta X1. He said:
<blockquote>I have parted ways with the club and I wish them well. I received the WhatsApp message sometime last week and I am relaxing at home.</blockquote>
Kadewere was sacked for the club’s poor form as it had to fight relegation throughout the 2019 season, having lost most of its players to Premiership sides.
Beta X1, which is one of the best-sponsored teams in the league, has since put an advert for the head coach’s job to replace Prince who was fired at the weekend.

During his presentation to the media, De Jongh also paid tribute to former FCP head coach <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Norman_Mapeza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Norman Mapeza</a>, who left the club mid-season in 2019 and is now at Absa Premiership side Chippa United. He said:
<blockquote>I feel happy to be here at FC Platinum today for the official announcement. They are professional. Everything they do, they are professional, on the pitch and outside the pitch they are professional.
… I know that the former coach (Norman Mapeza) did a very great job. He was a big player. I am the first European coach at this club and it makes me proud but I am here to prove my qualities as a coach.</blockquote>
The arrival of De Jongh will see <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Lizwe_Sweswe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lizwe Sweswe</a>, who had been interim coach since Mapeza left in September last year, reverting to being the first assistant coach, with Patrick Mandizha below him.
