TAKURA Shariwa, the Mutare United coach has warned FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza that he will be putting their friendship aside on Sunday when the two gaffers clash in a Premiership match at Sakubva.

“I will be playing one of the top sides in the Premiership who are amongst the best on the log. FC Platinum has the best coach who has seen it all in soccer. Their coach Norman (Mapeza) was my mentor. He is like Louis Van Gaal to me and I am Jose Mourinho. He was my boss at Monomotapa when I was coaching the developmental side and I give him all the respect as my mentor.”

Shariwa also said he was not worried about the threats posed by the Platinum attacking line which includes the trio of Marshal Mudehwe, Walter Musona and Tarisai Rukanda.
