Highlanders head coach Erol Akbay has revealed that he has 'fallen in love' with Bulawayo saying the city residents are 'very nice people'.
His family is due to join him this week.
However, he said his family will "not to watch football or how my team plays".
"I am happily married to Mariam, we have been together for 15 years and we also have a five-year-old daughter.
"My family doesn't like football and even when they visit (this) week their main business is to come and enjoy this wonderful country, not to watch football or how my team plays," he is quoted saying by Sunday Mail.
Akbay said his family know a lot about Harare and especially the Victoria Falls through the Internet.
"So when they come I will make sure I take them to those two places and hopefully they will also like Bulawayo because it's a place I have fallen in love with and its very nice people.
"My wish is to visit several places in the country but the problem is I am always busy at work.
"But on the few times that I walk to town as a way of refreshing, people always stop to greet me and it's very nice of them. I really feel the love and appreciate it".
