Despite Prisons XI making a return to the Premier League on Saturday, the future of head coach, Philemon Makhwengwe remains uncertain. The Warders overcame Sua Flamingoes on away goal rule in the promotional play-off to join Notwane and BR Highlanders who also gained promotion after winning their respective leagues.

Makhwengwe said for now he is uncertain whether he will be with the team next season when they make their long awaited return to the elite league. He said up to now he has not been offered a new contract with the current one coming to an end next month. “My contract is coming to end in June so I do not know.  I need to go home and rest. I cannot say yes or no on whether I will be with them next season. They have not approached me. They should have approached me three months prior to the expiry of the contract and they didn’t. They have their reasons so all I am going to do is see off my current contract,” Makhwengwe said after the match.

He said he was happy for the team after such a long time playing in the lower division.  He said teams like Prisons XI are marginalised with people labelling them as institutional.  He said the season has been hectic for them but was unhappy about a lot of things including the match officiating. “I think I was the most depressed coach even more than those who have relegated because I was not happy with a lot of things in our football. The attitude of the officials against Prisons,” he said.
