KELVIN Kaindu, Highlanders' new coach, arrived in the city yesterday evening and immediately got down to business with his new employers.
He met the entire Highlanders executive of chairman Themba Ndlela, his deputy Sikhanyiso Moyo, secretary Andrew Tapela, treasurer Odiel Nkomo and committee member Wisdom Mabhena.
Kaindu was ecstatic about reuniting with Highlanders, a team he played for during the 1997 and 1998 seasons.
He said he wanted to achieve more as a coach than what he did as a player back home in Zambia where he won several league championships. He is highly regarded at Zanaco where he captained the club to a number of accolades before retiring to an assistant coach's role at the club.
Kaindu, a Caf C licence holder, arrived in Zambia from a high level coaching course he attended for close to a month in England.
He described the course as highly educative and wanted to plough back to the club where he almost ended his career due to persistent injuries in the 1990s.
Kaindu will be assisted by Bekithemba Ndlovu and goalkeepers' coach Tembo Chuma.
Ndlovu and Chuma have been taking the players through their paces in the absence of Kaindu.
Highlanders chairman Themba Ndlela said they were happy to have Kaindu at the club.
He is expected to synchronise activities within the club's first team and the junior policy.
