CAPS fires Nagoli

Kenny Nagoli, CAPS United assistant coach who has given himself a bad-boy tag after manhandling head mentor Sean Connor at a training camp recently has been booted out of the “Green Machine”, Real Soccer Investigating Unit can exclusively reveal.
In what  could  be  a major  turning point in CAPS United  fortunes, the  Green  Machine   Management  have  suspended   Nagoli  for  indiscipline  as CAPS  United   is leaving  no  stone  unturned  in a bid  to  turn  around  their  bad  start  to the  season.
As  such,  in  a bid  to  bring  togetherness  and  improve  teamwork,  the  team  decided  to  introduce  the concept of camping  before  matches.
Recently,  they were camped  at  the  exotic   Ochi  City   Safaris  on the outskirts  of  Harare  when  Nagoli  decided  to  indulge  himself into the wise waters.
After  downing  a couple  of  shots  – getting inebriated to the marrow –  the  coach decided  to  change  venue  and   asked  the  team bus  driver  to  take him to town.
According to impeccable sources, as they were driving  out,  Sean  Connor   noticed  the  team  bus  taking off and  quickly  rushed  to find out what was happening.
Said the sources: “On  arrival  at the  gate  where  the  bus   had  stopped,   Sean  Connor  was  confronted  by  a drunk  Nagoli  who  started  shouting  abusive  language  in  vernacular  to the  Irishman who  stood  stone cold  in amazement.
“A  heated   argument  ensued  and  it took  some  members  of  the  CAPS  United  security  and   lieutenant coach Lloyd   Chitembwe  to  cool  down the  tempers.  Nagoli  then,   in a  huff, decided   to  proceed  to the  main  road  on foot  but  quickly  realised  that  the  3km  journey  from  Ochi  City  to the  main  road was no  easy  stroll in the park.
“The  coach  then  returned  to  the  lodges  in a bid  to  unleash  a showdown on the  Irishman.  There  was  commotion at the  Lodges  and  the   CAPS United CEO  Max  Mironga   was  contacted  and immediately  requested  Nagoli  to leave  camp. The  same  team  bus  that was  supposed   to  take  him on  joy  ride   ended  up embarking on  sorrowful  ride  back home.”
Real Soccer can confirm that Nagoli  was then served  with  a letter of  suspension  and  was  conspicuous by  his  absence  on the  Caps  United  bench  when they trounced  FC  Platinum 3- 1  last week.
Nagoli  is  a  close  associate  of  Lloyd  Chitembwe  and  has  been  the  latters  favourite   partner in “crime”.
The absence  of   Nagoli  meant  that  legendary   goalkeeper  Brenna  ‘Baba Gari”  Msiska  has  been  elevated  to  the third position on  the  Technical  bench.
Nagoli  is  expected   to  appear  before  the  team’s   directors  soon  for  a final  verdict  and  chances  are  high that he will not return to  the “Green Machine”  anytime soon.
CAPS United had been a victim of a top-heavy structure of its technical department that has about five coaches, with Richard Tswatswa and  Joel Luphahla  also coming into the picture.
Nagoli’s ejection from the CAPS United structures is probably the much-needed natural attrition to thin the densely populated technical bench of the Green Machine*
