Late ex-Zambia Under-20 coach Wesley Mondo was put to rest in Lusaka on Tuesday.
Mondo, 54 died on Saturday at the UTH after an illness.
His last coaching job was at Botswana club Nico United.
“Mondo was a luminary in football, a born leader who identified so many talents among the footballers that we have today,” ex-Football Association of Zambia president Teddy Mulonga said.
Mondo was a former Zambia backroom staff under Roald Poulsen.
He also coached Kalulushi Modern Stars, National Assembly, City of Lusaka and Zesco United.
Among the players Mondo coached at Under-20 include ex-Nkana and Zambia midfielder Clement ‘Sata’ Mulenga and current Chipolopolo assistant coach Irfan Kwari.
RIP Mondo! Botswana is bad place for Zambians to work!! we have lost a lot of Zambians there!!!
MHSRIP… YES NDOBO i agree with you. A lot human cargo tracking from Tswanaland into Zambia. May be the food is different there. I ve lost a lot male friends. May be we need a wallfence at that triangle zambia Zimbabwe Namibia Botswana border just the way Don the Trump wants to build a wall fence at the border with Mexico
Wesley, May your soul rest in peace.It was a pleasure chatting with you during the Sunday social soccer matches between Zambians- ZAMPRO and Batswana teams. You were such a principled and Independent guy when it came to coaching and that is why you were never given opportunity to coach Zambia. May Your soul rest in peace, mwana.
Botswana is just fine. Just the immorality in individuals
There is nothing like born leader. Leaders are make and not born. Condolence
