  2. Sad day. To add to his achievements, Keagan as Coach won the Premier League with Zimbabwe’s most glamorous side Harare Dynamos twice in a roll. He also had a coaching stint in South Africa.

    At international level he competed for the No.11 position but Kalu was at his best and we did not see Keagan’s immense talent at national level.
