Zimbabwe have made a coaching change ahead of their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Lesotho.
Manica Diamonds tactician Jairos Tapera has been tasked with taking charge of the national side for the upcoming qualifiers.“Following the purposeful and expansive process conducted by the ZIFA Normalisation Committee to appoint a substantive Head Coach for our senior men’s national team, my committee and I are pleased to announce that the process has reached its finalization,” the statement read.
“Given that our World Cup qualifiers versus Lesotho and South Africa are imminent, the delay in the conclusion of this appointment has necessitated the appointment of an interim coaching team that will take charge of our two FIFA World Cup Qualifiers as well as the COSAFA Senior Men’s Tournament that starts immediately after these qualifiers.
“Therefore, the ZIFA Normalisation Committee is pleased to announce the appointment, on an interim basis, of: Jairos Tapera – Head Coach; Takesure Chiragwi – Assistant Coach; Saul Chaminuka – Assistant Coach; Sunday Chidzambwa – Technical Advisor.
