CAPS UNITED have settled for a European touch to try and end half-a-dozen years of waiting for league championship glory, with Northern Irishman, Sean Connor, set to be unveiled as the new head coach of the Green Machine.
The 43-year-old Connor, who has coached in Ireland and the United States and has also worked as a scout for English Premiership side Stoke City, flew into Harare yesterday and immediately held discussions with the CAPS United management.
Connor is expected to sign a three-year deal, subject to the Department of Immigration granting him a work permit, and CAPS United officials revealed yesterday they will make the necessary applications to the PSL, Zifa, Sports Commission and the Ministry of Home Affairs.
The Northern Irishman turns 44 on July 12 and yesterday said he was excited about the adventure of his first coaching job in Africa and was confident he could write a success story.
