class=\"entry-content custom-text-styles\">\n<p>Dynamos coach Kelvin Kaindu has admitted that returning to Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday to face his former club was an emotional and challenging experience.<\/p>\n<p>Kaindu, who was sacked as Highlanders head coach in June, joined Dynamos two months later and has since managed to inspire an impressive unbeaten run of eight matches.<\/p>\n<p>His latest outing ended in a 1-1 draw against his former employers, and according to him, it was a bittersweet homecoming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a difficult return,\u201d Kaindu said. \u201cFor the first time, I entered a different changing room, and I asked myself \u2014 so this is how it feels to be on the other side, wearing different colours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be honest, it put me in a difficult situation because here at Barbourfields, there are many people I know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dynamos salvaged a point through Jairos Kasondo\u2019s equaliser after Brian Mlosthwa had given Highlanders the lead in the first half.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- \n\n<footer
