Highlanders coach, Baltemar Brito has officially been appointed the new head coach of the Zimbabwe national soccer team, the Warriors, and he will be deputised by the duo of Bongani Mafu and Genesis Mangombe.

The revelations were made in a statement released today by the Zifa Normalisation Committee chaired by Dynamos legend, Lincoln Mutasa.

“The Zimbabwe Football Association is pleased to inform the nation that it has appointed Baltemar Brito as the head coach of the senior men’s team forthwith until June 2024. He will be assisted by Bongani Mafu and Genesis Mangombe.

“The Normalisation Committee settled for the trio after an extensive recruitment and consultative process based on regional, continental and global confederations’ guidelines,” reads the statement.

The coaches’ first assignment will be at the end of the month on September 30 when the Warriors take part in an invitational match against the Brave Warriors of Botswana as part of that country’s Independence celebrations.

Thereafter, the national team starts preparations for the 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers which begin in November
