For that, I can\u2019t comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his recent involvement with the Warriors technical team, Tembo said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always good to be in that environment. You always learn when you work at a different level as well.<\/p>\n<p>So for me it\u2019s important not to really cage myself if I may put it that way. You know, spread my wings and be able to do that. I also appreciate the club [Sekhukhune United] for giving me that opportunity to be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ZIFA has invited suitable applicants to submit their applications for the Warriors head coach position. The new coach is expected to be appointed before the November international window.<\/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 class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span class=\"cat-links\">Posted in Local<\/span><span class=\"tags-links\">Tagged Kaitano Tembo, Warriors, ZIFA<\/span>\t<\/footer>\n\n -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Kaitano #Tembo #stays #coy #Warriors #coach #links #reflects #national #team #stint<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaitano Tembo has addressed reports linking him with the Warriors head coach position while reflecting on his recent stint with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[573,9151,8346,6256,801,95,1443,4413,201,8347,265],"class_list":["post-39940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-example-3","tag-coach","tag-coy","tag-kaitano","tag-links","tag-national","tag-reflects","tag-stays","tag-stint","tag-team","tag-tembo","tag-warriors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39940"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39942,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39940\/revisions\/39942"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
