Nkana coach Zeddy Saileti has set a top six target at the end of the season.
This follows Sundays 2-1 win over Green eagles that saw the record 11-time league champions enter the top 8 bracket of the 2012 Faz Super Division for the first time this season.
“We have to finish in the top six,” Saileti said.
“The way we are playing we have improved so much and now deserve to be in the top six.”
Nkana have never failed to finish inside the top 7 since returning to the Super Division in 2010.
Since Saileti’s predecessor and close friend Linos Makwaza was fired after losing 3-1 to Red Arrows on July 21, Nkana have lost just once with two draws and five wins and are now unbeaten in two games.
Nkana’s form is in total contrast to period between April 14 and July 21 when they could only muster nine draws and three losses that led to Makwaza’s departure.
“It is big surprise but being in a coach in football you have to go through many things and I think that was just a passing phase but when we got the winning formula everything has been going well,” Saileti said.
