Zimbabwean football legend Moses ‘Bambo’ Chunga has emphasised that the incoming ZIFA president must have passion for the game.
The former Zimbabwe national team and Dynamos captain insisted that the incoming ZIFA president must be dedicated to the growth of the game.
Chunga believes the incoming ZIFA leader’s dedication should go beyond personal interests.
Posting on his Facebook page, Chunga said: “…The incoming ZIFA president should be the one with football at heart. Their blood must be football.
“They must eat football, drink football and sleep football. They must be very passionate about football, l can’t stress this quality enough.”
He added: “Without passion for the beautiful game, we will not go anywhere. The ZIFA president must be a servant of the game.
“They must serve the game and not their selfish interests. Personally, l wouldn’t want someone who will just come in to boost their CV at the expense of the players, the lovers of the game, and the Zimbabwe brand.
“They must be committed to the development of the game from the grassroots. They must make sure that football development is all-inclusive. The girl child must not be left behind. The child from all four corners of the country must not be left behind.”
Clearly, Chunga wants a leader who is driven by passion, commitment and a genuine desire to improve football.
