‘Brito fell in Zifa early vetting stages’

WHILE he was the fans’ favourite to take over as Warriors coach, Baltemar Brito fell in the early vetting stages and could not make it to the interviews, fresh details emerged yesterday.

The former Highlanders coach guided Zimbabwe to impressive draws against Rwanda and Nigeria in their first two Group C Fifa World Cup qualifiers last year.
