Rodwell Dhlakama became the first coaching casualty this season when Green Fuel fired relieved him of his team head coach duties.

In a press statement, the club said Dhlakama is leaving with immediate effect.

“The mutual separation is with immediate effect and has been influenced by the team’s poor performance so far in the 2024 season,” said Green Fuel.

Dhlakama was fired at the back of a 3-0 defeat against CAPS United at Rufaro Stadium on Thursday together with his assistant, Darlington Dodo.

Green Fuel chairman, Fredson Moyo, said in February that their target for the 2024 season is to make it into the top six.

With eight games played, Dhlakama  recorded two wins, three draws and three defeats, leaving the side on position 12 with nine points.

Green Fuel was one of the busiest teams during pre-season as coach Dhlakama made a number of additions to his team, among them Anelka Chiwandire from Orapa United in Botswana, Adrian Silla from CAPS United and Tinotenda Meke from Cranborne Bullets.

Innocent Chogugudza, the team’s goalkeepers coach will temporarily take charge of the team as they hunt for Dhlakama’s replacement.

“Goalkeepers coach Innocent Chogugudza will be the new coach in the interim.

“The new technical team will be announced in due course,” further stated Green Fuel.
