This was revealed in a statement issued by ZIFA’s Normalisation Committee (NC) on the appointment of the Warriors coaches on Thursday.
Reads the statement: “The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) is pleased to inform the nation that it has appointed Baltemar Brito as the head coach of the senior men’s team forthwith until June 2024.
“He will be assisted by Bongani Mafu and Genesis Mangombe.
“Brito and his assistants’ first assignment will be the invitational match to celebrate Botswana’s Independence Day on 30 September.”
Recently, Zimbabwe played Namibia at the National Sports Stadium in Harare in President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Inauguration match on 3 September.
