Blades striker Robert Tembo quits football

Share

Former Konkola Blades captain Robert Tembo has announced his retirement from active football days after being pruned by the
Chililabombwe club.

Tembo has been at Konkola for 10 years.

The 30-year-old striker has revealed that a nagging ankle injury has forced him to retire.

Tembo also played for Kitwe United and Nchanga Rangers.

“I have accepted the club’s decision to release me. I have an injury on the left ankle,” he said.

Konkola last month pruned Tembo alongside veteran keeper Stephen Kabwe and striker Nasha Kaaya.

“I can’t join another club because I am still limping. I have not fully recovered from the injury,” Tembo said.

The once speedy winger said he has chosen to go into coaching.

“I am going into coach. There is a proposal that I become youth coach. It is a good idea, I have worked for this club,” Tembo said.
