Chicken Inn FC are reportedly in talks to bring on former Scottland FC boss Tonderai Ndiraya before the 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League campaign. The veteran coach — who led Scottland to their maiden league title in their debut top-flight season — left the club at season’s end and could now be lining up a return to the PSL via Bulawayo’s Gamecocks.
If Ndiraya signs, he would take over from current gaffer Joel Antipas, whose position remains under scrutiny after a turbulent 2025 season. Chicken Inn narrowly avoided relegation this year, eventually finishing 12th on the log with 39 points, following a final-day draw against high-flying rivals.
The club’s management appear to believe fresh leadership is vital to rebuild confidence and stability before next season begins. Ndiraya’s proven track record — especially with pulling together strong squads under pressure — makes him an attractive candidate to steer Chicken Inn back to competitive form.
For fans and football analysts alike, this potential coaching reshuffle raises anticipation. Can Ndiraya replicate his earlier success at a different club? Or will the weight of Chicken Inn’s recent struggles prove too heavy? Either way, Chicken Inn are signalling they mean business ahead of 2026.
