In the absence of a substantive coach, ZIFA appointed Mapeza to take charge of the Warriors just for the duration of the four-team tournament in Malawi next week

The tournament involves Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya and hosts Malawi from 18 to 26 March.

The tournament is aimed at helping participating countries prepare for the resumption of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.

Mapeza will be assisted by reigning Castle Lager Coach of the Year and Ngezi Platinum coach, Takesure Chiragwi.

In response to an inquiry by Zimpapers Sports, ZIFA said a substantive head coach and technical team will be announced soon. ZIFA said:

> The association will soon be announcing a substantive head coach and technical team to oversee the Warriors FIFA World Cup qualifiers and AFCON qualifying campaign.

ZIFA also appointed Orlando Pirates reserve team coach Simon Marange as the new Head Coach of the U20 men’s Zimbabwe national team.

Marange signed a long-term contract that is, however, performance-based.
