Former Warriors midfielder Esrom Nyandoro thinks assistant coach Kaitano Tembo could be the secret weapon for Zimbabwe's Africa Cup of Nations run in Morocco. Nyandoro said Tembo's background playing at elite African competitions, plus his knowledge of South African Premiership players, gives head coach Marian Marinica a serious advantage when preparing the squad for their group matches against Angola, South Africa, and Egypt.
Nyandoro pointed out that predicting tournament outcomes is basically impossible after watching teams like DRC advance from group stages without scoring a single goal at the last edition. He told the current Warriors squad to forget about past statistics and just focus on getting results since any team can pull off surprises at this level.
The actor-turned-footballer said this generation has a clean slate to become the first Zimbabwe squad that actually makes it past the group stage, which the country has never done since its debut appearance back in 2002.
