Power Dynamos have handed Tennant Chilumba a one year contract as coach.
Chilumba was introduced to his team this morning at 11:00 hours at Power’s camp house in Nkana East in Kitwe.
The ex-Zambia replaces Beston Chambeshi who was fired earlier this month.
“Thanks to the Power fans for giving me a chance to coach a team I played for, Power Dynamos,” Chilumba said at his official unveiling at Copperbelt Energy Corporation headquarters this afternoon.
“I am ambitious to get results. I know there is a big a big challenge here and the team is still struggling.”
Chilumba takes over at Power who are currently 8th on the table on 16 points, 10 behind their archrivals and current FAZ Super Division leaders Nkana.
Meanwhile, Power chairperson George Lungu said Chilumba has been handed a twelve month renewable contract and that they were looking forward to a fruitful relationship with him.
“We do know that Tennant will bring along his vast experience in football considering that he has played football in different parts of Africa,”Lungu said.
“We hope and pray that our supporters will give Tennant all the support and us as an executive will give Tennant our full support he requires to manage the team.
“He knows most of the players and I don’t think it would be difficult for him to fit in.”
Chilumba joins Power from FC Platinum of Zimbabwe and has spent four years in that country where he initially coached Hwange from 2010 until moving to the former in January, 2013.
Tenant Chilumba! Who remembers the name “Careless Millionaire”? Hey Tenant, my hearts bleeds, you were a good player & I hope you’ll make a good coach too…
Tenant is already a good coach, we wanted him to replace Renard, unfortunately he is not so presentable to camera. That’s want finished Msiska, no swag!! Zambian coaches awe mwee, imimonekele. Look at Renard, he trains in shorts, shirtless, he wears good, in his best white shirt.
Tenant find a STYLE… unique thing… Shorts and muscle-shirt not bad for cameras. Humor is important too, like suspended Zanaco coach, he makes into papers.
