SHEASHAM coach, Lizwe Sweswe, says he wants to stay at the club despite being relegated into Division One after just one season in the Premiership.
Sweswe joined the Gweru-based side halfway through the season in a bid to help the club escape the shadow of relegation.
But, it proved too late for the team and they were relegated on the final day of the season.
He will honour his pledge to the club leadership, which he made when he joined them.
“As a coach sometimes it’s about the principles you have as an individual.
“I am here and to work with this team.
“Moving on, at this moment, will only prove that I am a coward. I am a man of his word, I agreed with the club that I am going to stay.
“It’s not about what happened but about the vision of the club and the people of Gweru,” said Sweswe.
He said their plan is to take Sheasham straight back into the Premiership and they will do all they can to retain the key players from the just-ended season.
“The plan of the club is to make sure that we will return to the PSL and I am going to try to keep my best players as we need to do this.
“What is important now is to build for the PSL, with a competitive team, and we have to bring the right quality we believe will do us the job.”
Sweswe believes the introduction of junior and developmental sides in the team is important.
“Development is very important, there is too much rotation of players and the development will play a big role so we have started it here and it will bring us results and stability,” he said.
