Wedson Looks To Zanaco’s Future

FLASHBACK:Zesco’s Winston Kalengo (right) tries to beat his Zanaco marker Morgan Kanjolo during yesterday’s game played at Sunset Stadium in Lusaka .

Zanaco coach Wedson Nyirenda has said he is happy to see his team at the top of the table in the midst of a rebuilding process.

Zanaco are leading the Super Division table on goal difference on 22 points from 12 matches played.

The Sunset side suffered a mass exodus of nine players at the start of the season raising concerns as to whether Zanaco would mount any serious challenge this season.

Nyirenda has since brought in five unknowns into the team from the lower ranks in the league that has so far paid off.

Moses Phiri, Peter Zulu, Lottie Nyimibili and Ziyo Tembo all from Young Zanaco are now regulars at Zanaco since the start of this season.

“Before only big names came to Zanaco. It was unheard of before for Zanaco to bring unknown and young players to build a team,” Nyirenda said.

“We are now building for a Zanaco team not for today but for the next four to ten years and that is the legacy we want to leave.”

Phiri and Tembo have already made a noticeable impact at Zanaco scoring goals four and two goals respectively so far this season with Zanaco.

“We even have a defender defender Daniel Sakala from a division 3 team Breton Shooting Stars in the team which was unheard of in the past,” Nyirenda said.

Meanwhile, Zanaco face Red Arrows who are also on 22 points in their final game before the two-week mid-season break on July 2 with an eye on remaining top of the table.

  3. foolish girl mushota is yo name any better it means one who pinches others. Wedson is a good coach with a good truck record in football management, he made at zesco, he done it with zanaco. You dont know anything about football so just keep quiet.

  4. Know what guys, this woman is a luny. Not responding to her ever misdirected contributions will help her use her grey matter for reasoning, if she does at all.
