DYNAMOS FC head coach Saul Chaminuka has been banned from the technical bench for the club’s next two Premier Soccer League (PSL) matches.
This stringent penalty, alongside hefty fines for the club, comes directly from the PSL Disciplinary Committee following the abandonment of Dynamos’ match against FC Platinum last month.
The PSL’s ruling, announced yesterday, confirms that Dynamos FC were found culpable for the premature end of their Castle Lager PSL fixture against FC Platinum at Mandava Stadium on June 22, 2025.
As a consequence, the Glamour Boys have been hit with a substantial US$5 000 fine, and FC Platinum have been awarded the match with a decisive 3-0 scoreline.
However, it is the personal sanction against Chaminuka that is a major blow for the relegation threatened side.
Held directly responsible for his conduct during the ill-fated match, Chaminuka has not only been fined US$4 000 but, more critically, will be barred from occupying the technical bench for Dynamos’ next two crucial fixtures.
This decision leaves Dynamos without their head coach’s direct leadership and strategic input during a pivotal period.
The disciplinary action casts a darker shadow over Dynamos’ already precarious position in the league standings.

DeMbare are currently battling against relegation, sitting in 17th place with a mere 15 points from 21 matches played.
With only 12 games remaining in the season, Chaminuka’s forced absence from the touchline for two matches significantly hinders their desperate fight for survival in the topflight.
The team will now have to demonstrate resilience and tactical adaptability to overcome this leadership void as they desperately seek to pull themselves out of the relegation mire.
In a separate but related ruling, Chicken Inn FC and their player, George Majika, also faced disciplinary action.
They were found guilty following the abandonment of their match against Scottland FC played at Rufaro Stadium on May 23, 2025.
Chicken Inn FC was slapped with a US$5 000 fine, and the match was awarded to Scottland FC on a 3-0 scoreline.
George Majika, for his role in the incident, received a US$1 000 fine.
“The PSL reminds all clubs, players, and officials of their obligation to uphold the league’s rules and regulations,” read the stern statement from the PSL.
“Any actions that disrupt fixtures, undermine the integrity of the competition, or bring the game into disrepute will not be tolerated.”
The PSL’s firm stance underscores its commitment to maintaining order and professionalism within the league, sending a clear message that misconduct will be met with stringent penalties.
For Dynamos, the immediate challenge will be to navigate their upcoming fixtures without their head coach leading from the technical bench, as they desperately seek to pull themselves out of the relegation quagmire.
