"Am still in shock. I just can't believe it. Umafana was a perfect gentleman of the game and to be told that he is no more is like a sudden horror chapter in a romantic novel. How do you take that in,"

“It doesn’t matter anymore to be fighting for the PSL title when our developmental ranks are almost empty. Little has been done to invest both time and financial resources in this area yet we need to keep providing players for our national teams and local clubs,” “For this, I feel some of us who have exhausted almost every corner of top-flight football need to shift focus and help in talent identification, giving young players confidence to come out of their shells,”

"It was great to have the national team play at Barbourfields after a very long time and I loved the atmosphere. If Barbourfields can be full like this then surely national team matches must be played all over the country. Our fans should, however, improve with regards to supporting individual players and back the entire team. When a player wears the national team jersey, he represents the entire country,"

“It was a done deal. There was a bit of complacency on our guys after the away win. But it was a fair result for the local-based players, who are the future of the Warriors’ squad. I wanted to give every player a chance and we will keep on changing until we get the right combination. There are some players who gave a good account of themselves,”

"The good part is that we are working with new players who are trying to make a name for themselves and trying to get into the national team set up permanently so they are putting in all their efforts. We actually told them this will be a good chance to not only play for the national team but also make themselves noticed by scouts out there. You never know who is watching, it could be the breakthrough one player needs to move abroad,"

“We should have won this one. From my point of view, that was a genuine goal. The referee and his assistant acknowledged that it was a goal, but after the fourth official came in that goal was disallowed. We dominated the game, but my strikers could have done better. We got many chances, but were wasted. I think we are showing some direction, but we are affected by injuries and suspensions. There is room for improvement. Of course we are not consistent, but we are not under pressure,”

I think my players were also tactically and technically superior,"

"They made so much noise and started pelting Rahman with missiles (maize cobs, oranges, stones, zvigubhu etc). The match had to be stopped briefly for order to be restored. The half-time score was 0-0. The second half started with Rahman doing the same job. The temperatures were hotting up. I think the PSL select coaches realised that the tempers were flaring and eventually took off Chunga,"
