The ambitious Harare side is wasting no time in its quest for dominance, replacing the man who delivered their historic maiden PSL title with one of the most decorated coaches in Zimbabwean football history.
High-Profile Appointment
On Thursday afternoon, the rumors were put to rest. Sir Wicknell Chivayo, alongside club president Pedzai "Scott" Sakupwanya and the club executive, officially presented Norman Mapeza as the man to lead Scotland FC into the future.
Mapeza steps into the role with extensive experience, having built a dynasty at FC Platinum. His arrival signals the club's supreme confidence in a new technical direction focused on continental success.
The Ndiraya Shock
The appointment comes just a day after the club confirmed the departure of Tonderai Ndiraya, a decision that stunned the local football fraternity. Ndiraya leaves behind a remarkable record, having delivered the club's first league championship in their very first top-flight campaign.
In an official statement, the club said:
"Scottland Football Club wishes to confirm that the club and head coach, Tonderai Ndiraya, have reached a mutual agreement not to renew his contract... We would like to express our sincere appreciation for his commitment, professionalism and service."
The Power Broker
Mapeza’s arrival was reportedly made possible through the direct involvement of Scottland benefactor Sir Wicknell Chivayo. His presence at the unveiling underscores the financial muscle and high ambition driving the club's decisions.
With the backing of Sakupwanya and Chivayo, Mapeza is expected to have the resources needed to build a squad capable of challenging on all fronts, including the CAF Champions League.
A New Era Begins
While the club is yet to reveal specific details regarding Mapeza's contract duration, the mandate is clear: total dominance. Mapeza’s disciplined tactical approach and experience in African football are seen as the missing ingredients to take Scotland FC from local champions to continental contenders.
The Premier Soccer League has been put on notice—Scotland FC is not just here to stay; they are here to rule.
