Former AmaZulu coach threatens referee
Zimbabwe referees committee chairperson Gladmore Muzambi has condemned the behaviour of Chicken Inn coach Joey Antipas.
The former AmaZulu coach reportedly barged in to the referees’ dressing room during half-time and told the official who was in charge of their game that his players will not come out for the second half in protest of poor officiating.
Chicken Inn managed to level matters in the second half and walked away with a point.

“We don’t take such issues lightly, and surely that coming from a senior coach like Antipas is uncalled for. We expect coaches to behave responsibly,” Muzambi told NewsDay.
“It was a serious joke meant to motivate my players who had played badly in the first half. It was more to with mind-awareness nothing malicious about the whole thing,” he added.
