FAZ Super League side Zesco United have appointed George “Chicken” Lwandamina as club head coach.
Lwandamina was unveiled on Thursday morning in Ndola after signing a three-year contract.
He takes over from Tennant Chembo who has been relegated to the role of assistant coach.
“We have reinforced the technical bench by bringing in George Lwandamina as head coach,” Zesco chairman Kenneth Muteto told a media briefing on Thursday.
The Ndola club has tasked Lwandamina to win the 2014 FAZ Super League title and reach the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup group phase.
“It is a three year contract with clearly set targets. The challenge that is here is to win the Super League and minimum to go through to the group stage,” Muteto added.
Alfred Lupiya is now the second assistant coach.
Meanwhile, Lwandamina bounces back into coaching weeks after being fired by Red Arrows.
RA will regret
@omore. Even if RA wanted to keep George, they couldnt have. George had made up his mind to move on, first to zanaco, then zesco seems to have moved in with a better package following a string of losses in the pre-season. George was put on administrative leave for refusing to play in the Charity Shield semi final against guess who? Zesco!! an act he hoped would get him fired and hence leave with some sympathy and a full separation package! You may wish to know that George was also fired from Worriors and Buffaloes on account of indiscipline. As for performance, his record at Arrows is nothing spectacular: 2011-second, 2012 fourth, 2013- fifth! You be the judge.
Uyu Mudala Alfred ‘Razaki’ Lupiya was my coach at Young Mutondo Stars in the early 80s. Good to know that you are around and assistant coach at ZESCO. Congratulations Mudala Razaki. That Guy Dick John Ngwenya is also a coach in some Premier league team as well.
Winning the supper league? Mukakose pantu Kalampa has claimed his rightful place in the Zambian league. Aleisa aleisa…. favour favour. Nkana 4 life.
