HARARE – Former Tottenham Hotspur veteran manager Harry Redknapp has reportedly applied for the vacant Zimbabwe Warriors head coach position, while renowned former Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Pitso Mosimane has not yet submitted his application.
According to the report, Redknapp is among nearly 400 applicants who have applied for the vacant Zimbabwe national team coaching job to replace Michael Nees.
However, Mosimane one of Southern Africa’s most celebrated coaches, is yet to throw his hat into the ring.
An official announcement on the new Warriors coach is expected by Sunday or early next week.
The Warriors’ head coaching position remains vacant after ZIFA announced Nees’ departure last week.
On Monday, the association flighted an advert inviting qualified candidates to apply for the national team job.
Time, however, is not on ZIFA’s side, with upcoming international friendly matches against Algeria and Qatar, as well as preparations for the AFCON finals in Morocco, fast approaching.
Zimbabwe are expected to play Algeria in Saudi Arabia on November 13 and Qatar four days later in the next international break, which begins early next month.
By then, ZIFA is expected to have appointed and unveiled a new head coach.
