Kaizer Chiefs striker Ranga Chivaviro has some interesting options on the table if he chooses to pursue an international career elsewhere.
The Zimbabwe coach is watching Chivaviro
Zimbabwe national team coach Michael Nees is monitoring Kaizer Chiefs striker Ranga Chivaviro who’s eligible to play for The Warriors. This is according to SABC Sport.
Chivaviro was born in Limpopo to a Zimbabwean father and a South African mother so he’s eligible for both but must choose carefully as his first choice will be a permanent one. Nees’s Zimbabwe side comfortably beat Namibia 3-0 in a recent qualifier with Walter Musona bagging a brace.
How Chivaviro could still play for Zimbabwe
Here’s what the coach said:
“Look, we have a long list of players, we are interested in every good player but we also have good players here. We observe everybody and then when the time is right, we will make a decision if we approach someone or not,” Nees said.
“It’s not just because someone plays at Kaizer Chiefs. Last year at Kaizer Chiefs he had four goals I think but a year before, very good time. So, we observe every player but we must also praise our players who are here, they played very well today, they scored three goals.”
“We have a long list but it’s not just that we have to bring in, bring in, it must really add value but that doesn’t mean I do anything to rate his quality right now. He had a very good time when he was at his club before Kaizer Chiefs, he started the season on a very high and we will look,” he added.
Kaze arrives at Chiefs
Meanwhile, the cub has a new assistant coach. Burundian tactician Cedric Kaze quickly became a top candidate to work alongside head coach Nasreddine Nabi as his new assistant. The pair know each other well after working together for Yanga SC. Kaze is the former Burundi National Team coach and has worked with the U17s, U20s and U23s, as well as spending over two years with FC Barcelona’s youth sides. He advocates a meticulous approach to planning, analysis and tactics. He’s also fluent in six languages, namely French, Kirundi, Kiswahili, English, German, and Spanish.
