PREMIER Soccer League side FC Platinum have beefed up their technical team with the appointment of former Caps United coach Darlington Dodo as one of coach Norman Mapeza’s assistants.
The four-time PSL champions have been operating with only Daniel Vherumu as Mapeza’s assistant.
But some influential figures at the club have decided to get more brains to aid Mapeza after a barren season.
The soft-spoken Caf A holder will serve as Mapeza’s first assistant.
His last job was at GreenFuel, where he was an assistant coach to Rodwell Dhlakama.
The seasoned coach, who won the league with Gunners, will be hoping to turn around fortunes at the Zvishavane club.

FC Platinum are looking for a solution to unlock their luck having walked out of the 2023 and 2024 season empty-handed.
Club spokesperson Chido Chizondo confirmed Dodo’s appointment.
“Yes, I can confirm that Darlington Dodo is joining as Mapeza’s first assistant,” Chizondo said.
FC Platinum played second fiddle to Ngezi Platinum Stars and Simba Bhora FC in the last two seasons.
Meanwhile, Pure Platinum Play parted ways with Rainsome Pavari, who is headed to Manica Diamonds.
They also released Donald Teguru, who spent the last season on the sidelines due to injury.
Panashe Mutimbanyoka also left the club and is set to join the free-spending newbies Scottland FC.
