Norman Mapeza just signed a two-year contract to coach Scottland FC, the freshly minted league champs who just canned their title-winning manager because apparently winning isn't enough when you've got bottomless pockets. The 53-year-old legend inked the deal at sponsor Wicknell Chivayo's fancy offices, with club owner Scott Sakupwanya watching his latest big-money hire pose for photos. Mapeza's marching orders are pretty wild: win the CAF Champions League within two seasons or bust.
Chivayo's the energy mogul who dropped a million bucks on Scottland's championship run and is keeping the cash flowing for their continental push. The guy's been flexing hard lately, meeting with presidents across Africa while flying around in his private jets and dropping millions on random donations. He cleared some sketchy legal drama around a solar project a few years back, and since then, he's been stacking wealth like crazy.
Scottland's already burned through two coaches despite back-to-back success, so Mapeza better deliver, or he's next on the chopping block.
