BY FORTUNE MBELE FORMER Highlanders coach Hendrikus Pieter de Jongh is back at Bosso as the club’s brand ambassador in Netherlands. The Bulawayo football giants yesterday confirmed they are in conversations with the Dutchman on his new ambassadorial role. The Dutchman on Monday posted on Twitter advertising Highlanders replica jerseys in Holland using the club’s kit sponsors On the Ball (OTB) Looks’ website. “For my wonderful fans from Holland, there is good news. My former club Highlanders has a website (https://t.co/gsBUHeqw7f) where you can buy shirts. The club is also giving a number of shirts to The Champ to give away. Possibly signed by myself,” De Jongh tweeted. The replica jerseys cost US$35 in sportwear shops while on the OTB Looks website they are priced at R550. His tweet got a considerable responses from his followers. Highlanders spokesperson Ronald Moyo said the former coach’s gesture was welcome, but the club was yet to speak to its technical partners OTB Looks on the matter. “At Highlanders, our attitude is whoever comes at any given point and contributes to the objectives of the club even if they leave, they remain an extension of the club’s network. It is against this background that we appreciate De Jongh’s voluntary service to be the club’s brand ambassador in the Netherlands,” Moyo said. He said they were mapping a way forward to help De Jongh profile the club. “We are actually working on a plan to see how best we can assist him (De Jongh) to profile the brand Highlanders during his media interviews on radio and elsewhere in Holland. However, we are yet to discuss this with our technical partners, but we are in conversation with De Jongh,” he said. De Jongh joined Highlanders in September 2019 and won the Chibuku Super Cup with the Bulawayo giants and the lure of the Caf Champions League made him cross the floor to FC Platinum in January last year, but was sacked 11 months later. The Confederation of African Football refused to give him a waiver to coach in the Champions League because he did not have the coaching badges required for the competition.

BY FORTUNE MBELE FC PLATINUM coach Hendrikus Pieter De Jongh has questioned the wisdom of rushing players back into Premier League action following a lengthy break induced by the outbreak of COVID-19. Although his team needs more game time before plunging into the Caf Champions League this November having played a single competitive game all year, the Dutch coach does not want to rush his players back into full throttle action after Zifa suggested that the topflight league could resume in a month's time. The Premier Soccer League insists dates cannot be set before authorisation from government. De Jongh yesterday questioned the wisdom of starting the league on short notice since there has been no action since March when football activities were suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 'How is it possible to prepare for only four weeks and then want to start the league? Preparation needs a minimum of six weeks and now after more than six months without team training, eight weeks preparation would do,' De Jongh wrote on his Twitter account. In an interview following his post, the Dutchman said starting the league on scrappy preparations would expose players to injuries. 'Starting the league with little time of preparation will expose players to injuries and it will be difficult to display good top performance. It is important to train on technical and tactical areas. It's not like I have any suggestion to Zifa or the PSL but from my experience as an international football coach, I know we need six weeks preparation and now because since end of March there has been no training, we may need eight weeks.' He said FC Platinum awaits authorisation to start team training and for the Caf Champions League there is still ample time to prepare. 'The Champions League is at the end of November. We have enough time. As long as there is no enough time for preparation, then there is a problem. At the moment my players are still training at home and send in updates about their home training four times a week. We are just waiting to see if we could get back to the pitch and work on technical and tactical areas,' De Jongh said.

ZIMBABWE might not be considered a powerhouse in world rugby but continues to enjoy an influence on the global game following yet another honour for players who trace their roots to this country. BY DANIEL NHAKANISO Eight years after the Tsimba brothers Richard (now late) and Kennedy were inducted to the World Rugby Hall of Fame, two Zimbabwe born former international rugby stars, Tendai “Beast” Mtawarira and David Pocock were named in the World Rugby’s Team of the Decade. The legendary duo’s inclusion in World Rugby Team of the Decade as part of the Special Edition Awards held on Monday cements Zimbabwe’s growing status as a conveyer belt of talent to the rugby world. The World Rugby Awards Special Edition celebrated members of the rugby family who have provided outstanding service during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as players and teams who have starred over the last decade in a virtual show. The Men’s Team of the Decade features a strong South African front-row presence in Mtawarira, who retired from Test rugby after guiding the Springboks to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. Mtawarira is one of the three South Africans in the Men’s Team of the Decade together with abrasive hooker Bismarck du Plessis and the Springboks’ most prolific try-scorer Bryan Habana. The 35-year old Harare born Mtawarira represented South Africa an incredible 117 times in Test rugby since making his debut against Wales at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on June 14, 2008. Mtawarira, who attended Prospect Primary as well as Churchill School and Peterhouse College before moving to South Africa, is the most capped prop in South African history and the third most capped Springbok of all time behind lock Victor Matfield (127) and Habana (124). There was also a place in the Team of the Decade for former Australia campaign Pocock, who was born in Gweru and relocated with his family to Australia at the age of 12 at the height of the chaotic land reform programme. The young Pocock landed in Brisbane, Australia, and made himself into one of the greatest Wallabies of all time but he has maintained a strong connection with the country of his birth. Pocock retired from the international game after last year’s Rugby World Cup and walked away from all forms of rugby two months ago before revealing plans to assist Zimbabwe to qualify for their first World Cup since 1991.
