Mighty Mukuru Wanderers Football Club has officially terminated the contract of head coach Meck Mwase after he reportedly failed to report for duty without notice since November 4, 2024.
The decision follows Mwase’s unexplained absence after the team’s loss to Silver Strikers in the Airtel Top 8 Semi-Final.
In a press statement, Wanderers disclosed that Mwase has not been attending the team’s training sessions, and efforts to reach him have gone unanswered.
“This decision follows a period during which Mr. Mwase has been absent from his duties since November 4, 2024, without notifying the Club or obtaining approval. Despite multiple efforts by the Club to contact him, there has been no response. Given these circumstances, Mighty Mukuru Wanderers Football Club has made the difficult but necessary decision to terminate Mr. Mwase’s services with immediate effect,” reads part of the statement.
To ensure stability, Wanderers says that interim coaching arrangements are being implemented to maintain the club’s continuity and competitive edge.
“We extend our gratitude to Mr. Meck Mwase for his contributions during his tenure and wish him the best in his future endeavors,” the statement added.
Our efforts to get feedback from Mwase proved futile as his number was not reachable at a time of publication of this story
Mwase, who took over after the termination of Ramadhan Nsanzurwimo, was tasked with leading Wanderers to secure at least two cups and the league title.
However, he lost in both the Airtel Top 8 Cup semi-finals and the FDH Cup quarter-finals, against Silver Strikers and FCB Nyasa Big Bullets, respectively.
Currently, Wanderers hold second place in the TNM Super League standings, with 50 points after 25 games.
