Madlenya players demand coach's dismissal before cup opener

Madlenya players formally asked the directors to remove head coach William Gamedze, citing his absence in training, treatment of players, unpaid allowances and boot shortages. CEO Comfort Jele confirmed receiving the grievance and said management is addressing it.

What it means

• Players sent a letter demanding a change in the technical team, specifically Gamedze's dismissal.
• Grievances include coach's unavailability, selection based on past form, alleged insults, unpaid training money and lack of boots.
• Club returns to elite football in the 8Bet Trade Fair Cup in days.
