Tonderayi Ndiraya has made history by becoming the first coach to win consecutive Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League (PSL) titles with two different clubs. After leading Simba Bhora to the 2024 PSL championship, Ndiraya guided Scottland FC to their debut top-flight league title in 2025, securing the championship with a commanding 5-1 win over Kwekwe United. This remarkable achievement came despite initial skepticism around Scottland’s recruitment policy, but unity, thorough preparation, and strong management support fueled their success. Ndiraya credited club president Pedzai “Scott” Sakupwanya and chairman Tonderai Sakupwanya for their leadership and investment, as well as the dedication of his backroom staff and players.

Meanwhile, team captain Walter Musona also achieved a rare feat of winning back-to-back PSL titles. He captained Simba Bhora to their maiden league title in 2024 before leading Scottland FC to their 2025 championship win. Musona’s leadership on the field was crucial, as he played pivotal roles in both teams’ successes. Simba Bhora’s 2024 title win marked their rapid rise, clinching the PSL crown just two years after promotion to the top flight, with Musona scoring the decisive goal that sealed their victory. Scottland FC’s 2025 triumph echoed their historic debut season success, matching a record set 41 years prior by Black Rhinos.
This historic double achievement by Ndiraya and Musona has garnered celebrations across Zimbabwean football, inspiring fans and commentators alike. The success stories underscore the new era of competitive football leadership and the emergence of Scottland FC as a powerhouse in Zimbabwean football. The club’s remarkable rise in their first Premier League season and Ndiraya’s back-to-back title wins remain landmark moments in the history of the PSL.
