HARARE – Businessman Wicknell Chivayo has thrown his weight behind former Warriors captain Benjani Mwaruwari to take over as Highlanders head coach following the club’s decision to part ways with Dutchman Pieter De Jongh. In a statement on Monday, Chivayo revealed that he hosted Mwaruwari and former Zimbabwe international Harlington Shereni for breakfast at his home over the weekend. During the discussions, he said, the idea of Benjani taking charge at Bosso emerged.
Chivayo said Mwaruwari expressed interest in the job on condition that his contractual interests were “exclusively guaranteed” by the businessman. “I was deeply humbled by such a condition, which I also considered fair and reasonable for a football icon of his stature,” Chivayo said. The businessman said he has since formally submitted a proposal to the Highlanders leadership offering to personally underwrite Mwaruwari’s entire remuneration package if the Bulawayo giants consider him for the role.
