Zifa criticised for decision to sack Kalisto Pasuwa

Fans, journalists and analysts have slammed the shocking decision to dismiss Kalisto Pasuwa as the Zimbabwe national soccer team head coach.

The Zimbabwe football fraternity was on Thursday surprised when Zifa Vice President Omega Sibanda issued a statement confirming the entire Warriors technical department had been sacked.

Pasuwa’s dismissal comes at a time the Warriors are preparing for the African Nations Championship which will be held in Rwanda next month.

A post on twitter shows veteran sports reporter Merit Munzwembiri seemed surprised by a decision that has proven to be unpopular among Zimbabwean fans,”Pasuwa and his technical fired from Warriors!!! The circus begins!”, Munzwembiri wrote.

Another journalist Ishemunyoro Chingwere wrote on facebook, “Kalisto Pasuwa what? Chiyangwa ngaambomira vakomana.”

Several comments on social media indicate fans are disgruntled by a decision they feel could kill the positive momentum that the warriors had gained under Pasuwa.
