Caps United Coach Sanctioned
HARARE – CAPS United coach, Lloyd Chitembe, is likely to face heavy sanctions from the Premier Soccer League after he made an obscene gesture at CAPS United fans on Saturday during their ill-fated league match against Shooting Stars at Rufaro Stadium.
CAPS lost the match 2-0.
The temperamental coach, Chitembwe pulled the middle finger when the match ended as the Green Machine were taunting him. He was however restrained by his assistant Kennedy Nagoli as he tried to scale the perimeter fence to beat up some fans.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police had a hard time trying to contain the crowds as some of the fans vented their anger on club director Farai Jere who had to leave the stadium under police guard. Pandemonium broke out in the stands as the fans traded punches after the match. This is not the first time that Chitembwe has faced sanctions. In 2004, Chitembwe then a player at CAPS United spit at a referee and was banned for two seasons. However the penalty was later slashed as it was felt that it too harsh as he made a living out of football.
