Nkana reported for first day of pre-season on January 16 under a new boss after Aggrey Chiyangi was demoted as head coach following a rollercoaster one-and-half year in charge of the 12-time champions.

This is after Chiyangi had led them to an 8th place finish in 2015 after taking over from the sacked Beston Chambeshi in May of that season.

I have said it before that the current executive at Nkana is a cocktail of inexperience and overstayed characters who have failed to add value to the team.
The executive that can not understand the procedures involved in the transfer of…
