New Chicken Inn coach Tonderai Ndiraya is among the coaches attending the Zifa–Caf refresher course held at the Zifa Village in Mount Hampden. 

Just weeks ago, Ndiraya was in Spain with La Liga side Villarreal, where he took part in another elite coaching education programme, before returning home to begin his stint with the Gamecocks ahead of the 2026 season. 

In recent years, Ndiraya has consistently invested in capacity-building programmes abroad, having previously attended courses in Belgium and Turkey. 

While he continues to sharpen his coaching credentials at the start of each Zimbabwean league season, success on the pitch has followed him everywhere.  

The former Dynamos tactician has clinched back-to-back league titles with two different clubs, Simba Bhora in 2024 and Scottland in 2025. 

So, beyond moving from one classroom to another, Ndiraya is also transitioning from one league crown to the next.

Can Ndiraya guide the Gamecocks to their second league title, having lifted their only league trophy in 2015 under Joey Antipas?
