Manica Diamonds and Jairos Tapera reached a mutual agreement to end their coaching relationship. The Eastern Highlands club terminated the contract despite Tapera having an agreement that extended through December 2026. Club officials suspended the coach last month following a series of disappointing performances on the field. Management decided to part ways permanently after the extended suspension period concluded. The organization continues searching for a permanent replacement to lead the team forward.
Tafadzwa Mashiri assumes caretaker responsibilities while the club evaluates potential candidates. The team currently occupies 15th position with 22 points accumulated from 21 matches played. Manica Diamonds held 10th place when officials suspended Tapera following the 17th matchday. The squad managed just two additional points under Mashiri's temporary leadership during the past month. The club faces relegation concerns as they struggle near the bottom of the league standings.
