COACHES REACTTO AFCON DRAW

THE first coach to take Zimbabwe to the AFCON finals, Sunday “Mhofu” Chidzambwa, is confident the Warriors can qualify for the knockout stages for the first time.

He said:

 “It’s a tough group, I agree, but with the current crop of players we have and this new ZIFA Board, which is led by Nqobile Magwizi, I think we will be able to get to the second round.

“I also feel the main reason why we couldn’t do so in the past was because of the administrative problems and monetary issues.

“I have a feeling this new board can overcome these issues.”

NORMAN MAPEZA

“It looks like a difficult group on paper but at the end of the day it boils down to preparations. We still have World Cup qualifiers to play and I think we can use those games to prepare. We have almost a year to prepare and we should start now. The good thing is we have a good team that has been doing well in their recent matches.”

JOEY ANTIPAS

“We have Egypt, the top seeds, then you have Angola who did well during the qualifiers and South Africa who are playing a level higher than us. But, we now have a new ZIFA Board and I am sure they will make money available for the players. That’s what our football needs, you need money to progress to the second round. But we could have a decent run out there.”
