Pasuwa Resigns as Warriors Coach
Callisto Pasuwa has announced that he has resigned as head coach of the Zimbabwean national football team, the Warriors.
His announcement comes days after the Warriors were knocked out of the 2017 AFCON tournament, after they lost 4-2 to Tunisia on Monday in Gabon.
Speaking to The Herald newspaper, Pasuwa said that following the defeat in Gabon, he believes it is best for him to resign and make way for a new coach.
“Following Zimbabwe’s participation at the African Cup of Nations in Gabon, where we unfortunately failed to go beyond the Group B stage, I think I should step aside and make way for another coach to take over,” he said.
He continued, saying that he hopes the Warriors learn from their defeat at the hands of Tunisia, and that there is a solid foundation for the team to work on for their next international campaign. He also apologised for not making it through to the next round of the AFCON tournament.
“I am sorry we let the nation down in Gabon, but I believe if we can learn and build from this experience, we will do better in the next campaign and like I said, the foundation is there now for the future Warriors to work on,” he concluded.
It is not yet known who will replace Pasuwa as the head coach of the Warriors.
