The interim coaches Amini Soma Phiri and Cosmos Zulu will lead Highlanders pre-season preparations as the club awaits the issuance of a work permit to their new Dutch coach Elroy Akbay.

Soma –Phiri was not available for the first training session as he is reported to be in South Africa for an attachment at Moroka Swallows.

Despite losing Obadiah Tarumbwa, Nqobizitha Masuku and Teenage Hadebe whose loan deals expired on December 31, Bosso is likely to retain most of their players from last season.

Tarumbwa and Hadebe crossed the floor to champions Chicken Inn while Masuku has joined FC Platinum and Mthulisi Maphosa is set to join newly promoted Bulawayo City.
