MAPEZA TAKES OVER AS SCOTTLAND HEAD COACH
Former FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has officially been unveiled as the new head coach of Scottland FC, marking a major shift in the club’s technical leadership. The appointment follows the unexpected departure of Tonderai Ndiraya, who stunned the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League last season by steering Scottland to a historic league title in their debut campaign.
Mapeza’s arrival was facilitated by club benefactor Sir Wicknell Chivayo, who presented the coach to the media and supporters at an unveiling ceremony this afternoon. Also present were Scottland president Pedzai “Scott” Sakupwanya and members of his executive, signalling unified backing for the club’s new technical direction.
In a development that has caught the attention of many in local football circles, it is now clear that Mapeza’s trusted lieutenant, Daniel Veremu, will be joining him as his first assistant coach. The duo, known for their strong tactical cohesion and disciplined approach, are expected to build on the club’s recent success and maintain its ambitious trajectory.
Scottland supporters will be eagerly watching to see how the Mapeza–Veremu partnership shapes the club’s next chapter.
