The FIFA appointed Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) normalisation committee has expressed interest in appointing Highlanders FC head coach Baltemar Brito as the Warriors gaffer.
This was revealed in a leaked letter dated 19 September 2023 written by the normalisation committee to the Bulawayo giants, requesting the services of the Brazilian born Portuguese coach.
“The Normalisation Committee would like to request your executive permission to engage one of your employees in the name of Brito Baltemar Jose Oliveira for a possible appointment as the interim senior national team coach,” reads the letter.
“Whereas he has indicated he is in permanent employ of your esteemed organisation.
“It is in that light of integrity we hereby pray you shall find it beneficial to release him for envisaged national duty during this interim Normalisation period.”
Brito who arrived in Zimbabwe in June 2022, has a running contract with Bosso which is set to expire in December 2023.
His team is currently second on the log table with 44 points after 23 matches.
The 71-year-old, a former assistant to Jose Mourinho at Chelsea and FC Porto, has so far lost twice, drew thrice and won 12 matches in the ongoing campaign.
His team were losing 2-0 in the game against bitter rivals Dynamos that was abandoned just before half time at Barbourfields Stadium last week Sunday.
good coach.
ZANU will always interfere wth Zifa operations and for Brito to associate wth such an institution gonna be his ultimate fall
Ngonidzashe Lunga true
Useless this dude+
Anenge abhadhara uyo
FIFA is trying hard to revive football in zim . thanks for their efforts.I want to tell them that soccer can not be revived when Ed is in power
What are they trying to prove zvimwe zvinhu munongotangawo kunetsana nevanhu .Let him stay at Bosso,This is very unfair to Bosso .
Good move
Is it a way of destabilising Bosso and ultimately destroying it?
Thabani Ndebele kkkkk he applied for the job alone and even asked JM to do a promo for him…however am against him being national team gaffer,Bruce expressed interest for this job from way back,most of our overseas talent are is in the UK which is where Bruce is,can’t somebody at Zifa connect the dots?
Simba Humphrey OK.l get it now.The problem is that Zifa wants people that it can control and dictate to.They negotiated with Bruce sometime back but couldn’t agree on terms. Too much political interference
Layo I ZIFA yakhona iyazehlulekela shame ba runner ibhola engathi ba runner I kiosk,behluleka khona ukusi bonisa abanye ababewufuna lumsebenzi,basebe khetha okungu sifile kwethu kwe Bosso lokhu,ngokwesaba ama costs
Motoziva kuti kuDrawer kudyiwa kana kuWinner nema 1 0 . Hapana zvinozikanwa apa .
