FAZ Super League side Nchanga Rangers have threatened to fire the entire Bruce Mwape led technical bench if it fails to revive the team’s dwindling performance.
Struggling Nchanga are 10th on the 18-team Super League table with 28 points from 25 matches played.
Nchanga Chairperson Yoram Kapai has told The Independent Observer that his executive is not pleased with a string of poor results the Chingola club was currently recording.

Nchanga revealed that his executive has given Mwape and his technical bench an ultimatum requiring them to pick at least 8 points from their next four matches.

At the moment we are not discussing about the other set of the last four games because if we get eight points from the first set of four then we shall be above relegation zone,” he said.
Nchanga is this Saturday hosting stubborn Nakambala Leopards at Nchanga Stadium in a Week 25 match.

Even the football pitch is poorly maintained. Gabitas, i hope the spelling is correct used to be an all weather green pitch those days. If you cant maintain a playing surface how do you expect to win. However the club has a lot of potential considering they are sponsored by the mines. Please respond if my observations are…
