In addition, I will be personally responsible for his monthly salary and benefits for the full duration of his contract should he be appointed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must, however, state clearly here and now that if the club opts for a different coach, the sponsorship package remains in place for the benefit of the team \u2014 but the additional conditions will not apply.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Should Highlanders agree to the proposal, this will mark Mwaruwari\u2019s return to the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League, having coached Ngezi Platinum before.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/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#Chivayo #backs #Benjani #Mwaruwari #Bosso #job #offers #fund #entire #contract<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wicknell Chivayo is advocating for Highlanders to appoint Benjani Mwaruwari as the club\u2019s new head coach.
