I have been attending a course recently, and I am very pleased as my qualification will help me improve soccer standards back home and for my academy. It has been tough throughout the entire course but I am very much fortunate to make it and I am raring to go forward with it.
We have a lot of talent in Zimbabwe and the world must be aware of our capabilities. I also urge other coaches back home to come out and take this course as it is very useful in their careers, he said.
Currently based in Canada where he runs his Soccer Academy, Mukahanana started his career with Zimbabwe Saints when he was 17-years-old in a debut against Dynamos at Rufaro Stadium. He also featured for Zimbabwean Junior National sides U-17, 20, 23 under the tutelage of Steve Kwashi and Wesley Grabowski. He played for the senior side under the mentorship of Bruce Grobbler and Porterfield.
In 1995 Mukahanana got a scholarship from US California State University, where he featured for Des Moines Menace, USL Central Coast Roadrunners and Clinciatt in A-league. The nomadic Eddie also had a brief spell with Russian league outfit Rostov F.C in 2001. In 2002, he was forced out of the club by an injury and returned to US where he retired in 2002.
