The Englishman first joined Wanderers as technical director.

However, the dynamics of Harrison’s appointment changed when he was made head coach after the redeployment of Alex Ngwira.

WANDERERS REMAIN UNBEATEN SINCE MARK HARRISON TOOK OVER

Harrison has since seized the opportunity going four games unbeaten in all competitions.

Wanderers have scored six goals and are yet to concede since Harrison took over.

It remains to be seen if Harrison can lead Wanderers to silverware on December 17 2022.

The ex-Township Rollers gaffer will be up against a Bullets side that wants to make it a clean sweep of silverware this season.

Harrison has since told Wanderers family that it would take some two years to reach the level of professionalism of Bullets.

Bullets, under former Zimbabwe coach Kalisto Pasuwa, have already won the FDH Cup and the TNM Super League.

The former Dynamos mentor Pasuwa wrapped up the title to make it four on the bounce.

Now next on the table for Bullets is the Airtel Top 8 to wrap up the year with a clean sweep.

The Airtel Top 8 involves teams that finishes in the top eight league band by the end of the first round.
