{{Ian Gorowa has resigned as coach of Zimbabwe citing differences with the country’s football association and the non-payment of his salary for seven months.}}<\/p>\n
Gorowa, who was likely to be axed by the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) in the coming days after the side’s early exit from the 2015 African Nations Cup qualifiers, wrote a letter to his employers detailing the reasons for his resignation.<\/p>\n
The letter was published in the Herald newspaper in Zimbabwe on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The coach said he has not been paid a salary for the last seven months and was also owed a bonus payment after taking Zimbabwe to the semifinals of the African Nations Championship in South Africa earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Gorowa lost two of his 17 matches in charge of the team, but one of those came in a qualifier for the Nations Cup against Tanzania that saw Zimbabwe ousted from the preliminaries.<\/p>\n
The former international winger took over the position of coach from German Klaus Dieter Pagels in July last year.<\/p>\n
