"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HARARE (Reuters) -- The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has suspended national team coach Norman Mapeza and his assistant on suspicion of being linked to a match-fixing scandal which has led to the suspension of more than 80 players, the governing body said on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ZIFA chief executive Jonathan Mashingaidze said the board had decided to suspend all players and coaches named in a report on suspected match-fixing during Zimbabwe's friendly matches, mostly played in Asia, between 2007 and 2010.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mapeza, 39, started a third spell as Zimbabwe coach last March when his assistant Joey Antipas was already in his post.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mapeza was not immediately available to comment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"The board resolved that all individual members fingered in the 'Asiagate' report were suspended... until they are cleared by the independent ethics committee,\" Mashingaidze said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He said ZIFA had appointed former Zimbabwe coach Rahman Gumbo as interim national team manager.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last week, ZIFA suspended over 80 players, including the core of the national team, on suspicion of being linked to a match-fixing scandal involving Asian betting syndicates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;ZIFA has set up an independent ethics committee to probe alleged match-fixing that it believes took place in matches Zimbabwe played in Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
