Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) Nomination Committee is set to appoint Highlanders head coach Baltemar Brito as the new interim Warriors head coach.

In a statement, the committee requested permission to engage Brito as the new coach.

This comes ahead of the Warriors’s return to international football later this year.

“The Nomination Committee would like to request your Executive permission to engage one of your employees in the name of Brito Baltemar Jose Oliveira for a possible appointment as the interim Senior Men National Team Coach,” ZIFA wrote to Highlanders.

“Whereas he indicated he is a permanent employee of your esteemed organisation, it is in that light of integrity we hereby pray you shall find it beneficial to release him for the envisaged national duty during their interim nomination period.”
