HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe fired coach Zdravko Logarusic on Sunday after taking just one point from two games in World Cup qualifying.
Former Zimbabwe captain and ex-Manchester City forward Benjani Mwaruwari is considered a candidate to replace the Croatian.
Logarusic was appointed in February 2020 but a run of bad form came to a head with a 0-0 draw with South Africa and a 1-0 loss to Ethiopia in World Cup qualifying this month.
The Zimbabwe Football Association said a new coach will be named before the two World Cup qualifiers against Ghana next month.
Mwaruwari was made an assistant coach with the national team two weeks ago and is now tipped to get the head coach job.
