Norman Mapeza: Zimbabwean champions Platinum part company with head coach

Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League champions FC Platinum and manager Norman Mapeza have parted company on Thursday.

The 47-year-old guided the Platinum Boys to back-to-back title wins in 2017 and 2018, and was seeking a third successive win this term.

Additionally, he guided the Platinum Boys to the Caf Champions League group stage last season and was looking to repeat the feat this term.

However, Lizwe Sweswe, who has been placed as interim head coach, will be in charge of proceedings.
