HARARE City have sacked Mark Mathe and Tichaona Diya to pave way for the backroom staff brought in by new coach, Lloyd Chitembwe.

The former Caps United coach started work at the capital club yesterday following his appointment on Monday.

Mathe had been in charge of the team on an interim basis since Englishman Mark Harrison left in June.

But, he failed to assert himself and managed a paltry three points out of a possible 18 during his short stint.

He, together with goalkeepers’ coach Tichaona Diya, were shown the exit yesterday as Chitembwe decided to bring with him virtually the entire backroom staff he worked with at Caps United.

Nelson Matongorere, who was Chitembwe’s technical director at the Green Machine, will assist the former midfielder at his new club.
Zwanai Kawadza and Fungai Kwashi are also coming in as part of the backroom staff.

Ironically, Mathe, who spent over a season understudying Chitembwe at Makepekepe, had to be axed for dumping his former boss when he chose to work with Harrison.State media
