Logarusic is just clueless, Dinha

- Sikhumbuzo Moyo Senior Sports Reporter

ANOTHER national team legend Edelbert Dinha has added his voice to growing calls for Zifa to sack under fire Warriors’ coach Zdravko Logaruši.

The former Orlando Pirates midfield enforcer described the Croat as clueless and someone who doesn’t understand football.

Loga has become an unpopular figure within the Zimbabwean football community following a run of miserable results in the Chan and Cosafa Cup tournament­s, which the Warriors exited without registerin­g a single win.

“We should get another coach honestly. Just look at the type of football we are playing; there is no identity at all, we have quality players, but not being used to their best of their abilities. How many games has he won out of 12 games?” asked Dinha.

Despite Warriors’ fans uniting in criticisin­g him, the Croat has been defiant, arguing that he had delivered on his mandate of securing qualificat­ion for the Africa Cup of Nations.

He downgraded Chan and the Cosafa Cup, saying they are mere preparator­y events he used to try out other players.

Dinha said securing a ticket to the Afcon finals should not be an excuse to keep Loga.

“I understand we qualified for Afcon, but how we qualified will tell us exactly how we are going to play there. Time for a change, locally-based coaches that understand us or get someone that understand­s football,” said Dinha.

Early this week, Warriors and Bosso legend Alexander Maseko also called for Loga’s sacking, saying “He won’t take us anywhere”.
