Oswald Mutapa has been fired as Red Arrows coach.
Mutapa was fired just eight months after he was appointed as coach of the Lusaka-based FAZ Super Division club.
His exit comes after Arrows lost 3-1 away to promoted Indeni in Ndola on Saturday in a match that saw the airmen suffer eight successive league defeats.
The loss has left Arrows third from bottom in 14th place with just four wins from 18 games played on 19 points.
Mutapa is the second coach to be dismissed this season after Wesley Mondo at Kabwe Warriors.
Mutapa has been replaced by Mathews Phiri who returns to the Arrows for the uptenith time.
Alfred Kachinga who was until last weekend Nchanga Rangers assistant coach will assist Phiri.
Phiri and Kachinga took the team through the paces on Tuesday afternoon at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka while Kalililo Kakonje drilled his goalkeepers.
saw this coming, mutapa could not just replace lwandamina.so wat next may just be relegated here ka.
Though its not good to fire coaches i think he deserves to fired. Arrows are not this bad third from bottom as though they lack funds its not acceptable. On one hand its also teaching our men in uniform teams to be careful on firing coaches everyday especially buffoloes coz change of management brings in a bit of instability to a team. Donts i dont expect to underform in lusaka are arrows, buffuloes, zanaco,
Mathew Phiri worked very well with Harrison Tembo and so it ll be good to have Harrison back at Nkoloma.With these two arrows had its best days in Zambian football.
