Highlanders Football Club dismissed head coach Kelvin Kaindu after a disappointing season. The team ranks ninth place with 23 points from 17 league matches. Club officials announced the coaching change due to poor recent performance. Try Ncube will serve as temporary head coach starting immediately. Agent Sawu remains as his assistant during the transition period.
The team won five games and lost four matches during Kaindu's tenure. Highlanders drew eight games which became their biggest problem this season. Players scored 18 goals and allowed 13 goals against them. The team struggled to finish games with victories despite solid defensive play. Other clubs with similar scoring records climbed higher on the league table.
League leaders Simba Bhora hold a 12-point advantage over Highlanders. Fourth-place Scottland FC sits just four points ahead of the struggling club. Better finishing in close games could have put Highlanders near the championship race. The team often gave up leads and settled for ties instead of wins. Supporters grew frustrated with the lack of progress throughout the season.
Kaindu's departure reflects the club's desire for immediate improvement. The coaching staff will remain the same except for the head position change. Highlanders thanked Kaindu for his service and wished him success moving forward. Management hopes the coaching change will spark better results in upcoming matches. The team needs more aggressive tactics to convert draws into victories.
