Reigning FAZ Super League champions Nkana have confirmed Zeddy Saileti as interim club head coach.
Saileti takes over from his late boss Masauso Mwale who died in road traffic accident in Luanshya last Friday.
Club secretary Ken Mwansa disclosed Saileti’s promotion following Wednesday’s executive committee meeting-a day after the burial of
Mwale in Ndola.
Mwansa further confirmed the elevation of Gift Kampamba from the role of second to first assistant coach.
“We sat as an executive committee yesterday and appointed Zeddy Saileti. He will be assisted by Gift Kampamba,” he said.
Mwansa said the duo must prove that they are equal to the task if Nkana are to offer them permanent deals.
“Actually the ball is in their court, they must prove themselves,” he added.
Mwansa revealed that Nkana plans recruit another assistant coach tobeef up the technical bench.
“We will look for another assistant coach.”
And Saileti said he is honoured to be named interim head coach.
“I am greatly honoured by the appointment.”
Saileti officially begins his resign on Saturday when Nkana face visiting Green Buffaloes in the Super League at Nkana Stadium in
Kitwe.
The 1994 Africa Cup silver-medalist was in-charge last Saturday when Nkana drew 1-1 with Ivorian club Sewe Sport in the home CAF
Confederation Cup Group B tie played in Kitwe less than 24 hours after Mwale’s death.
All the best Zeddy.
Hope you will tutor the young players how to score from those trademark bicycle kicks which made you famous. To be successful coach, you need to treat your players fairly and show them love. You need to create harmony in the dressing room, once the harmony is lost, that’s the downfall of the team
thats right mdala.
I LOVE SAILETI,HE IS A HUMBLE PERSON AND GOD FEARING…….ALL THE BEST
