Dynamos FC have officially ended their association with head coach Genesis Mangombe and his technical team after reaching a mutual agreement that also saw all disciplinary allegations against the coaches withdrawn.

Mangombe, together with assistants Newsome Mutema, Tonderai Marume and goalkeepers’ coach Britto Gwere, had been suspended while the club investigated accusations of insubordination, match-fixing and the alleged use of juju.

Following discussions held on Monday involving the Sports and Recreation National Workers Union, the parties agreed to resolve the matter amicably.

In a statement, Dynamos confirmed that all accusations had been withdrawn, the suspensions lifted and the employment contracts terminated by mutual consent.

The decision clears the way for Mangombe and his coaching staff to pursue new opportunities. The quartet has already received clearance letters from the club and is now free to join Triangle United, where Mangombe had recently been seen amid reports linking him with a return to the Lowveld side.

Dynamos have already moved to reshape their technical department by appointing Romanian coach Aristica Cioaba as the club’s technical director.

Cioaba took charge of his first match during Dynamos’ convincing 4-0 victory over AGAMA at Rufaro Stadium last Sunday, the club’s biggest league win of the season. His arrival was warmly received by supporters, particularly those in the vocal Vietnam Stand.

With the coaching issue now settled, Dynamos can focus fully on completing their rescheduled Castle Lager Premier Soccer League fixture against Hardrock, which resumes at Baobab Stadium on Thursday.

The match was abandoned on May 24 after crowd disturbances interrupted play with the score tied at 1-1. The Premier Soccer League ruled that the remaining 14 minutes must be completed behind closed doors.

As part of the disciplinary ruling, both Dynamos and Hardrock were fined US$10,000, while Hardrock will also be required to stage one future home match without spectators.

Questions remain over the implementation of the PSL directive requiring the same players and technical personnel who were involved in the abandoned match to take part in the restart. Since then, both clubs have made changes during the current mid-season transfer window, including coaching changes at Dynamos and the departure of Hardrock coach Junior Makunike.

Among Dynamos’ original technical staff from the abandoned fixture, team manager Ronald “Gidiza” Sibanda is now the only remaining member. However, under competition regulations, he may have to oversee proceedings from the stands.

Despite the unusual circumstances surrounding the fixture, Cioaba believes his team has the quality to secure a positive result.

“The players have enough ability to compete with any team in this league,” he said. “Our biggest task is improving their confidence because consistency has been an issue. A player can perform very well in one game and struggle in the next. We are working to build their belief through support and encouragement.”

The Romanian also acknowledged that playing in an empty stadium presents a different challenge for Dynamos, whose passionate supporters have often played a significant role in inspiring the team during difficult moments.
