HARARE : Norman Mapeza will take charge of Zimbabwe for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon, the country’s football association confirmed on Sunday.
Though Zimbabwe failed to win any of those four matches and finished bottom of their group, Mapeza had always expected to be retained. But that had been thrown into doubt last week when the football association named him as coach and then rescinded the decision within 24 hours. The Zimbabwe Football Association board was suspended last month by the government but won a court order to block the decision. They are accused of embezzling state funds provided for player payments and preparatory costs ahead of the previous Cup of Nations finals in 2019 and the mixed messages over Mapeza’s appointment came amid a continuing power tussle.
Zimbabwe open their Group B campaign against Senegal in Bafoussam on Jan. 10 and also play Guinea and Malawi in their group.
