The former Caps United and “Dream Team” star told The Zimbabwean this week that he and his colleagues had planned to have the next ZIFA board comprised of predominantly former players. He said they had learnt from mistakes they made in the run-up to the ZIFA presidency in 2009.
“It is every local former footballer’s dream to give back to the game, be it in administration, coaching or even starting up academies,” said “Murehwa”.
Part of the grand plan would be to have former players seize control of the country’s 10 football regions, as a way of gaining leverage in voting for the ZIFA presidency in the next two years.
“By 2014, we would have managed to convince most of the councillors of the importance of having the majority of ZIFA board members being those who played the game, because they have an insight on the welfare of the players. Look at the record of Zambia, who have their great former captain, Kalusha Bwalya, at the helm,” he said.
Max, who also played for Dynamos and Arcadia United, got his first national team call-up under Ghanaian coach, Ben Koffie in 1989 and was also part of Reinhard Fabisch’s famous “Dream Team” of the 1990s. He scored 17 goals in 1984 when, alongside Charlie Jones and Mike Abrahams, they led Arcadia to a runners-up position in the league, behind eventual champions, Black Rhinos.
