FORMER Highlanders Coach Erol Akbay has promised to transform Dynamos into a mean machine that will play like European giants Manchester City if given the on-demand opportunity.

Akbay, who was the first Highlanders gaffer to beat Dynamos in 10 years, confirmed his application for the hottest football seat in Harare.
He joins a growing list of foreign coaches interested in taking charge after Herbert Maruwa’s dramatic dismissal on Tuesday who include Mark Harrison and former Werder Bremen gaffer Wolfgang Sidka.
In a conversation with online publication Zim Now, Netherlands-based Akbay said he was relishing an opportunity at the Zimbabwean giants.
“Dynamos is a big club in Zimbabwe and Africa. I have submitted my CV to the Dynamos chairman. I am available if there is a possibility to work at Dynamos,” said Akbay.
“There are a lot of technical players at Dynamos who can suit my type of play, I always start it from the back and play one-touch football, this is modern football.
“Look at Manchester United and Manchester City when they score, they would have played one-touch football. That is the type of play I will introduce at Dynamos.”
Akbay took charge of Highlanders in 2016, before trading the black and white for Ngezi Platinum in 2018.
He had a somewhat successful stint at the Bulawayo outfit, earning himself the moniker Mkabayi despite failing to win the championship. Highlanders are yet to win it in 17 years.
Maruwa’s assistant Genesis ‘Kaka’ Mangombe is currently in charge on an interim basis.
