“We are looking for someone who will unearth gems, nurture and develop them into super talents. “The gems will be unearthed from in and around Hurungwe District and the country at large. The coach that we are looking for must have the requisite qualities of identifying talent and developing it and be able to blend it with senior players to create a team that will compete at the highest level“We are going to retain all the players who have running contracts as well as bring on board new players. Players out of contract are going to come for trials, which will be held on the weekend of January 27 and 28,” said Marime.
