Zanaco coach Keagan Mumba slams his defence and goalkeeping after conceding easy goals in their Charity Shield semifinal win over Napsa Stars at Nkoloma Stadium on Saturday.
Mumba was especially upset with goalkeeper Racha Kola’s howler that led to Napsa’s equaliser in the 59 after his a poor clearance fell in front of Spencer Ngalande to poke in the ball.
Zanaco eventually won with two late goals to advance 4-2 to this year’s Charity Shield final on March 9 to book a date with Power Dynamos.
Mumba said the team could not afford such errors heading into their CAF Champions League away game away to Swazi side Mbabane Swallows this weekend in which they lead 3-2 from the first leg.
“Coaching is alike a technician working on the sewer line,” Mumba said.
“Now we have started scoring now we have started conceding goals.
“You saw the goal we conceded; very silly goal and at this level you can’t allow this situation.
“Just when you think you have worked on the midfield and attack you have a problem with the defence.”
Zanaco, who had a stingy defence last season that served them well to lift the 2012 FAZ Super Division title, has so far conceded four goals in two games from seven goals scored.
“I think it has gone into their heads they will need some strong ballocking so at least they should understand that when we play in Swaziland we can’t make such kindergarten mistakes,” Mumba said.
“Overall we are happy at Zanaco since we have been scoring.”
Mumba added that the arrival of Aubrey Zulu and Roderick Kabwe who have scored two goals each in as many games played has added quality to their attacking alternatives.
as the coach, you need to discuss these things in the dressing room with your players and not in the press. it appears he knows that his team shall not perform well in future matches, so he is looking for an excuse to pre-empty criticism
Keegan Mumba is very very talkative. He is not a pragmatic coach.

Am a Power Supporter but Kaoma’s officiating on Saturday was not up to date. Match officials Manager Mr. Kabungo what’s your comment on Power Dynamos Vs Zesco united officiating that is Kaoma and his assistants? Zesco United played better than my team (Power Dynamos), Zesco United player Mwape Mwelwa was axed in the box and you didnt give them a spot kick. I hope our Caoches saw the mistakes which were exposed by Zesco United otherwise if we are not careful we might loose the way we lost to TP last year.
Manager, Kaoma is not fit to officiate big games, that the more reason we only have Mr. Sikazwe going out to officiate international matches alone.Mr. Sikazwe please keep the Zambian flaging even higher coz you have made us proud as Zambian.
Please give kaoma division 2 games
