Former national team captain Benjani Mwaruwari met with wealthy businessman Wicknell Chivayo over the weekend, and the football community immediately started buzzing about a possible coaching move to Highlanders. The Bulawayo club just dumped their Dutch manager after he barely kept them from getting relegated during a rough season, and they have gone without a championship trophy for almost two decades at this point.
Chivayo apparently offered to fund major parts of the operation and even throw in money for new players if someone takes the job. Benjani confirmed the meeting happened and admitted they talked about the sport, but he refused to get specific about whether he wants the gig. The ex-Manchester City striker currently works with youth players at Plymouth Argyle, and fans are already losing their minds over the possibility of him coaching the struggling side with financial backing from a guy known for throwing cash around.
