Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. Bulawayo Chiefs, a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League team, have announced the appointment of Joseph Sibindi as their senior team assistant coach.
In a Twitter post seen by Pindula News, the team expressed their excitement in welcoming Sibindi, who comes in as an assistant to coach Lizwe Sweswe. Sibindi will be joining the team in preparation for their upcoming matches. Read the tweet:
In fulfilment of Club licencing regulations, we are thrilled to announce that we have appointed Joseph Sibindi as Assistant coach of the Senior Team. Coach Sibindi comes in as an assistant to Coach Lizwe Sweswe, who remains our Head Coach. Welcome, Coach Sibindi!
Joseph Sibindi has previously served as a coach in the Zimbabwean Premier Soccer League. He had a short stint with the now-defunct Bantu Rovers and, in the previous year, led Tsholotsho, a former top-flight team, to a commendable second-place finish in the Zifa Southern Region Division One League.
The appointment marks Sibindi’s second tenure at Bulawayo Chiefs. In 2019, he was appointed as the team’s head coach in compliance with Zifa’s standardisation of coaches. The club had applied to Zifa to have Thulani Sibanda exempted and allowed to coach while waiting to go into the next Caf A Licence class. But later decided to bring Sibindi, who is also a sports science lecturer at a local university. Sibindi was taking over from Garthly Chipuka at the time of his appointment.
