The Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) has confirmed the dismissal of head coach Zdravko Logarusic following a poor run of results.

The former Asante Kotoko coach has been in charge of ‘The Warriors’ for just one and a half years.

A statement from Zimbabwe FA signed by Communication & Competitions Manager Xolisani Gwesela revealed the two parties had parted ways in an amicable way and further confirmed the entire technical bench had also been disbanded.

“The Zimbabwe Football Association would like to inform the football fraternity and the nation at large that it has amicably parted ways with senior men’s team coach Zdravko Logarusic,” read part of the statement.

“The decision was arrived at upon consideration by the full Executive Committee of all the various relevant circumstances pertaining to the coach’s contract. The entire technical team has also been disbanded.”

The statement continued: “The appointment of the interim technical team shall be announced in due course as the Executive Committee has already set in motion the process.”

The decision to sack the Croatian tactician comes just five days after the Warriors suffered a 1-0 defeat against Ethiopia in their second Group G match of the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying campaign.

Zimbabwe have a double-header World Cup Qualifier match against Ghana’s Black Stars in October 6 away and then they return home to host them on October 10.
