A Look At Mwaruwari’s First Coaching Stint

Following a thorough selection process, Mwaruwari emerged as the preferred candidate for the role. The ex-Manchester City striker has already spent four months working with Argyle’s Under 13s to 18s age groups.

This new role follows a brief stint in coaching for Mwaruwari, who previously held a four-year contract with Ngezi Platinum Stars in 2022. However, his tenure was cut six months into the contract due to the team’s performance, which fell short of expectations.

Under his watch, Ngezi played 13 matches, won three, drew six and lost four. As a result, Ngezi slipped out of contention for the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title, leading the club to sever ties with the former Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers star.
