Mutasa was appointed interim coach of the Harare giants following the sacking of Portuguese coach Paulo Jorge Silva after a spate of dreadful results.

The former Dynamos midfielder was appointed on an interim basis and was given five matches to convince the leadership that he has the credentials to take them to another level.

On Sunday, his side defeated Ngezi Platinum 2-0 through goals by skipper Augustine Mbara and substitute Rodreck Mutuma in his fifth match.

The victory was the first for Dynamos at home this season having failed to score at Rufaro prior to Sunday. It was also the first time for the Glamour Boys to record back-to-back wins this year.

This meant Mutasa completed his five-game ultimatum with 9 points out of 15, which appears a fair performance enough to convince the club hierarchy to hand him the job on a full time basis.

Club president Keni Mubaiwa said yesterday they would meet this week to discuss the future of the coach.

“We had given him five matches to see how he fares. And the Sunday match against Ngezi Platinum was his fifth match, so we are going to meet as an executive to discuss how we can go about it. There is no official position at the moment until the meeting. We might meet today or tomorrow,” he said.

Dynamos took their points tally to 14 and are now on eighth position on the league table.
