Benjani Mwaruwari is officially taking the wheel as the new head coach for Highlanders. This wild plot twist actually makes sense since Wicknell Chivayo basically made an offer the team simply could not ignore. This guy is a massive sponsor and already dropped US$1 million into the club, and he actually told the bosses he would pay the entire salary for the former Manchester City striker.
The leadership team, which includes Kenneth Mhlophe and Fiso Siziba, actually had to hit the road to Harare to chat with the big spender. It sounds like they needed to lock in that extra cash for the 2026 Premier League season. Apparently, the money is being saved for player recruitment and a pre-season training camp.
Things got messy because the club already picked Thabo Senong for the job earlier this month. The sponsor was not feeling that vibe at all, and he threatened to cut off funding for the car and salary if they kept the South African coach. Even though the original US$1 million gift was safe, no more help was coming.
Poor Thabo Senong is getting paid off and released before he even finishes a single practice. The team is struggling with money, and they decided that bringing in the former Warriors captain was the only way to get the bag. Everyone is hoping this move helps the Bulawayo squad finally grab some trophies in 2026.
