Scottland Sack Norman Mapeza After Champions League Exit

By Staff Reporter

Scottland FC have sacked head coach Norman Mapeza with immediate effect following their elimination from the CAF Champions League by Angola’s Petro de Luanda.

The defending Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League champions confirmed Mapeza’s departure on Sunday, October 25, 2026, according to *The Herald*.

The dismissal comes as Scottland battle to defend their domestic title, with the club reportedly trailing league leaders Hardrock by eight points, despite having two games in hand.

Mapeza’s departure follows Scottland’s disappointing continental campaign, with the club now facing the challenge of finding a replacement while attempting to revive their league title defence.

The club’s next coaching appointment will be crucial as they seek to recover from their African setback and close the gap on Hardrock in the domestic race.
