ZIMBABWE Under-23 coach Kalisto Pasuwa has finally agreed to lead the team for the decisive African Championship against South Africa in Kwazulu Natal on Saturday, but threatened to quit his job after the encounter.
His manager Gibson Mahachi said the players have been phoning Pasuwa begging him to lead them to South Africa and he met the coach and agreed that Pasuwa should lead the team to South Africa.
“I have met the coach (Pasuwa) and agreed that he should lead the team to South Africa for this campaign and that will be it whether the team qualifies or not. Players have been phoning pleading with him to lead them and after careful consideration and for the sake of the country, I decided that he should lead the boys for this campaign. It should be noted that nothing has been paid to the coach, but this is the position I have taken because this is national duty,” Mahachi said.
Pasuwa, who doubles as senior team coach is owed close to $10 000 in salaries and allowances since his appointment.
Zifa has been promising to pay him his dues, but has failed to live to its promises, resulting in Pasuwa temporarily walking away from the team leaving it in the hands of his assistant Nation Dube.
Striker Thomas Chideu has expressed confidence of beating South Africa to seal a ticket to the African Championships in Senegal despite facing a myriad of challenges in the build up to the decisive encounter.
Chideu, who is due to join South African Premiership outfit Cape Town Ajax after signing for them in the past week did not play a major role in the first leg after sustaining an injury and was stretchered off just after 35 minutes.
But he had given the South African defence some problems with his off-the-ball movements.
The former Highlanders man submitted his passport to apply for a work permit on Tuesday.
He said he now has his passport and was ready for the showdown against South Africa.
“I was disappointed I didn’t play a major role in the first leg. Now I am back in the team and ready for the game. We have got the players who can deliver a good result for us. We are going to South Africa with a winning mentality. We know we need to score goals because they scored an away goal. If they relax because they scored an away goal, we will pounce on them,” Chideu said.
The Young Warriors are expected to fly out to South Africa today for the sink-or-swim encounter.
The winner between the two will win a ticket for the finals to be held in Dakar, Senegal in December with the top three teams from that tournament automatically qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
The Young Warriors have been subjected to tough conditions in their camp, with players starved of food at lunch time on Wednesday culminating in the players refusing to train.-SouthernEye
