Dzvairo has never played professional football, however he has made history, becoming the youngest coach to ever guide a team to Premier Soccer League promotion.
He led Marondera side from the Eastern Region Soccer League title win, with a game to spare, sealing promotion into the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
