NEW Warriors coach Zdravko Logarusic looks set to hit the ground running; with the 55-year-old gaffer scheduling a one-on-one meeting with his predecessor Joey Antipas, this week, as he aims to get the inside track on his charges.

The Croat — who was unveiled as Warriors mentor last Thursday — revealed that he would want to get an insight on the Warriors from Antipas and values the knowledge the Chicken Inn coach has on the senior team.

Antipas, who was the interim coach, will now serve as Loga’s number two in the new technical set-up.

Loga also intends to meet the Warriors second assistant coach, Lloyd Chitembwe, with the purpose of both meetings being to share his vision, for the Warriors, with the two men.

The former Sudan coach did not have the luxury of bringing in his own assistant with ZIFA electing to appoint locals to understudy him.

“Usually I would take someone with me, but it’s always an added advantage if you also have people who are already on site.

“About those coaches (Antipas and Chitembwe), I’ve learnt a lot of nice things about them and their personalities, like the first assistant applied for the national team job and now serves an assistant coach.

“Let’s see how we will solve that problem. I just know that they are both mature people who love their country, and my success is their success.
“At this time, I must depend on them to give me proper names.

“We made the right decisions to bring in local coaches as assistants, what I asked from the people, from the federation, was to give me loyal people who are soldiers of the country.-State media
