Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>The winds of change are blowing.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the story of Manzini Wanderers, who have reportedly offered their Head Coach Nyanga \u2018Crooks\u2019 Hlophe the Technical Director (TD) role. It was reported that the former Mbabane Swallows seasoned gaffer\u2019s future was uncertain. The veteran coach rejoined the maroon and white hub giants towards the end of last season, when they were fighting the dreaded relegation axe from MTN National First Division (NFD) outfit, Pigg\u2019s Peak Black Swallows. He proved to be the \u2018Messiah\u2019 as he saved the \u2018Weslians\u2019 from being relegated. The 70-year-old started the new season with not so convincing results, as he is yet to record a win in the four games they have played so far. \u201cThe Managing Committee (MC) is divided on this matter, as some do not want Nyanga to have control over the team. Their philosophy differs from that of the coach, who wants to bring in new talent, while they believe that experienced players are still valuable to the team,\u201d the source alleged when quoted last week.<\/p>\n

According to a well-placed source within the team, the oldest coach in the league has been offered a TD role in the team, which he has accepted. \u201cThe MC met with the coach and informed him that the club was planning to bring in a new coach from outside the country to take charge of the technical team. They also offered him a new role as technical director, which he graciously accepted without hesitation,\u201d the source said. The source went on to share with this publication that the team was looking for a new coach outside the country. \u201cWe are interested in a coach from countries like Zimbabwe, as we believe they have great coaches. We want someone talented, with a deep understanding of the team\u2019s needs, to help us return to our glory days,\u201d revealed the source.<\/p>\n
