HARARE – German tactician, Michael Nees has officially been unveiled following his appointment as the new Zimbabwe Warriors head coach at the end of July.
Nees, 57 was unveiled on Thursday at the ZIFA offices in Harare.
Speaking during the event, the ZIFA Normalisation Committee (NC) boss Lincoln Mutasa praised Nees.
Mutasa expressed his confidence in the former Rwanda coach saying: “We are confident that he is the right man to lead the Warriors as we embark on the AFCON qualifiers.
“We are confident that with Michael at the helm we will rise to the occasion. We believe in his vision.
“We are committed to providing him with the support staff and resources he needs,” said the ZIFA NC chairperson.
Speaking to the media Nees said: “The philosophy is to show respect to the opponents. We have to find a realistic strategy and a good game plan.
“In most cases, I like to dominate the game or at least dictate (the pace). It’s better when you can define the game.”
Nees’ first assignment is a clash against Kenya in the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers on 6 September away at the Mandela National Stadium in Uganda.
Four days after, he will play Cameroon in the same qualifies at the same venue.
