PREMIERSHIP side, Highlanders have fired coach, Mkhuphali Masuku with ex- Bosso favourite and Warriors hot-shot, Peter Ndlovu said to be in the frame to take over.
Masuku was allegedly fired on Monday night in absentia as he was with the Warriors developmental side in Tanzania for the Cecafa Championships.
The executive, chaired by Themba Ndlela, said they decided not to renew the contract of the coach who took the club to a fourth place finish in 2010.
He then won the Independence Trophy on April 18 this year after beating Dynamos, but finished seventh on the log on 43 points, 15 behind winners league winners Dynamos.
Ndlela is fighting to remain in office in the New Year against businessman Mandla Moyo- the same man he beat to the top post three years ago.
“The elections don’t worry me because whether I am in office or not I am always dedicated towards working for Highlanders. Bosso is my home and I will not have any other home besides Highlanders.
“Even when I left being treasurer in 2005, I continued working for the team and I have no intention of stopping working for the club at any time,” he was quoted saying at the weekend.
It remains unclear whether other candidates will join the fray.
Still, Jabu Mangwana Tshuma-son to former chairman, James, has indicated he will run for the committee member’s post while Jerry Sibanda, the current team manager wants to take on secretary general Andrew Tapela.
Meanwhile, former players, led by Zenzo Moyo, have regrouped and are understood to be pushing for Peter Ndlovu to succeed Masuku.
They have since formed a club-chaired by Moyo, with Rahman Gumbo deputizing while Netsai Moyo is the secretary general
