Masvingo-born Highlanders star, Gabriel Nyoni has backed his Ductch gaffer Erol Akbay following a series of disappointments which saw the Bulawayo giants registering nine points in 10 Premier Soccer League (PSL) games.
Speaking to TellZim News, Nyoni, a proud product of Pamushana Academy and former Masvingo United player, said the whole club is behind the coach.
“It is just a passing period which we will soon get over, what is very important is that the morale in the club is very high and everyone is close and strongly behind the coach which makes our job easier”, said Nyoni.
In their last 10 games Highlanders were held to a goalless draw by Mutare City then suffered a one nil defeat against Caps United in both the first and the return match before settling for another draw against Triangle.
In the return matches Bosso lost six crucial points to Mutare City and Triangle before sharing spoils with city rivals Chicken Inn. They however lost to Kariba with a one nil margin.
Bosso recently picked form in their last two matches where they collected six points against Howmine and struggling boarder strikers.
Nyoni, who recently finished his Marketing honours degree at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST), said he has no plans to leave the club when his contract expires in December this year and will strike a balance between football and career.
“I have no plans to leave my club. I have settled here playing for Bosso, but if any big opportunities comes my way; I will gladly open the door.
“I am pursuing my master’s degree next year and also continuing with football,” said Nyoni.sport
