On 28 September 2018, Gumbo has been sent on" forced special leave" by his South African National First Division side Witbank Spurs due to poor results that has seen the ambitious outfit registering just a single win in five league starts.[7]

In June 2019, Gumbo - who at the time was the assistant manager - took charge of the Zimbabwen national team for the semi-final against Zambia. This was necessitated by coach Sunday Chidzambwa’s return to Zimbabwe after he was granted compassionate leave following the death of his father.[8]
