As he starts to look beyond his playing days, Katsande has revealed when he plans to call it a day on his glorious career, that has seen him win four trophies with the Soweto giants.
“I think between 2022 June or 2023. So, 2022 it will take me you know if Amakhosi win a trophy, you know, then it’s nice and you say, ‘let me try it one more time’ so that you leave a good legacy and lay a foundation for the youngsters to come because these youngsters they still want us to lead their way,” Katsande told Vodacom’s Ringa Nathi.
In addition, the flamboyant midfielder has revealed that he plans to venture into coaching, post his playing days and is already working towards his coaching qualifications.
“I’m doing a couple of things, and at the same time I’m going to venture into coaching – but I want to be the Zimbabwe national team coach and when I retired I told them ‘I am still going to come back to the national team but not as a player, but as a coach’ so, I’m going to chase my dream on that and maybe one day I am going to coach Chiefs. Obviously I’m very demanding on myself but other than that I have a few businesses that I am trying and also studying but at the same time, time is not enough,” the midfielder said.
Katsande has made 20 appearances for Gavin Hunt’s side this season, although he has been used mainly as a sub, with 11 of his appearances coming as a starter.
