Michael Nees, the newly appointed head coach of the Zimbabwe Warriors, is scheduled to arrive in Zimbabwe on Wednesday afternoon. Nees, a German tactician, will make his debut as the head coach of the Zimbabwean national football team, having been appointed last month to lead the squad until June 2026.
Nees’s arrival was delayed due to immigration paperwork, but all issues have now been resolved. The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has confirmed that he will be greeted at Robert Mugabe International Airport. Following his arrival, Nees is expected to attend the match between CAPS United and Manica Diamonds at Rufaro Stadium on Sunday. This attendance will serve as part of his preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Nees’s first official match in charge of the Warriors will be against Kenya on September 6, 2024. His appointment brings a wealth of experience in African football, having previously coached Seychelles and Rwanda, and served as a technical advisor in South Africa.
The announcement of the squad for the AFCON qualifiers is eagerly anticipated, as fans and analysts look forward to seeing Nees’s strategic approach and selection choices for the national team.
