My CV is inferior: Mangombe

DYNAMOS coach, Genesis Mangombe feels his CV is inferior to his Highlanders counterpart, Kelvin Kaindu, ahead of their clash at Barbourfields on Sunday.

Not only is the 40-year old gaffer six years younger than his Bosso counterpart but their coaching achievements are also worlds apart.

The former Yadah coach has also since led Dynamos to their first meaningful silverware in close to a decade when they won the Chibuku Super Cup last year.

“Yes CVs may not be at par but we are not going to read much into that, this is a game of two giants and whoever is best on that day will win,” said Mangombe.

“I may be an underdog, based on CV but we have a vision of what we want and where we are headed to as a club and we are going to stick to that.”

Interestingly during his first stint at Highlanders,

Kaindu never defeated Dynamos.

And Mangombe is ready for what will be one of his biggest fixtures of the season.

“That’s a big game and as Dynamos we are very prepared for it, we are looking to collect maximum points, that is our target,” he said.

Focusing on the game, Mangombe is confident his side will collect maximum points.

“We have youngsters in the team, who, after what happened the last time that we played Highlanders were left a bit traumatized,”he said. So as part of preparations for this match, we have to make sure they are psychologically fit…it will not be easy, it is usually a high tempo game and tempers often flare but we are ready and in it to win.

“We also need to bring our A-game, there is no room for complacency in such fixtures so we are doing our best to ensure that we approach the match in our best possible state.”
