Nkana have fired Zeddy Saileti and his assistant Gift Kampamba barely six months into their tenure at the record 12-time champions to make way for Beston Chambeshi’s appointment.
Also out is Aggrey Chiyangi whom Saileti replaced in January after a one-and-half-years in charge.
Chiyangi had served as technical advisor after he was sacked as Nkana coach six months ago.
Interestingly, Chiyangi replaced Chambeshi at Nkana in June,2015.
Chambeshi rejoins Nkana from Lumwana Radiants where he has been coach since June,2016.
The Zambia U20 coach will be assisted by Manfred Chabinga who left struggling Green Eagles a week ago.
“Both Chambeshi and Chabinga have signed respective two-year contracts with the club. I have no doubt that the two will be equal to the task as they both have vast experience in the coaching job,”Nkana president Evaristo Kabila said.
“I therefore, on behalf of the Executive Committee wish to take this opportunity to thank Aggrey, Zeddy and Gift for their contributions during their stay at club and at the same time, congratulate both Chambeshi and Chabinga on their new roles and also welcome them to the Nkana family.”
Thumbs up! Lets wait and see! (Copying Dennis Liwewe words)
Terrible move for Chambeshi. No one should work for Nkana.
These tuma Zambian coaches just leave employment just like pooch! am now coaching this team, last weekend I was coach for that other team! I mean there are no contracts to fulfill?
Good decision….. Saileti cannot be a coach for a team like Nkana. He can only coach ……..SAMFYA BULLETS.
Ba Chambeshi you have made a wrong move.You will live to remember this…….you should have stayed at Lumwana radiants.Nkana will fire you again….wait and see!
Iyeee………ba Chambeshi! Are you sure that is a right move??? Do not forget that you fortune with U20 came from Lumwana Radiants you have now abandoned. Anyway, wish you good lucky!
LRFC Statement on the Departure of Head Coach
Bestone Chambeshi
The Lumwana Radiants executive committee would like to acknowledge and confirm departure of their Head
coach Bestone Chambeshi. Lumwana Radiants Football Club head football coach Bestone Chambeshi has
chosen not to renew his contract with the LRFC to take the head coaching job at Nkana Football
club. Chambeshi recently successfully led the Under 20 national team at the Under 20 world cup where the
team bowed out in the quarter finals.
“After lengthy and healthy discussions with the club, Coach Bestone Chambeshi informed LRFC today that he accepted the position as head football coach at Nkana FC. “Coach Chambeshi led a successful turnaround of our football program and we greatly appreciate all he has done for our…
As an Executive, we would like to thank him for contribution as coach of the Radiants and wish him the best in endeavours. The search for a new head football coach will begin immediately. “We have a great product to showcase, as well as a tremendous institution and community.
We would like to encourage our fans to be patient and await our communication as soon as formalities for a new
coach are completed.

The sacking of the three coaches at Nkana has been long over due they were too small for team welcome back home quick silver but we need better results from you nothing else.
This is the trio which engineered Bestone’s sacking as Nkana coach.They told players not to follow his instructions, in other words, told players to protest aginst him by deliberately losing games.I hope Nkana has assured him security against unruly fans at former Scrivener stadium the home of Rhokana United of baZee fame, Allan Kalimukwa, Stone Chibwe and others I can’t remember.It was a team indeed, second to Wanderous.That was football, Rhokana was a mother of rough football,though.
However, I urge all coaches to support each other and stop planning each others fall/sacking.As for Bestone, be focused with a visition.I wish you could produce a replica of yourself in terms playing skills as the late BaZoom used to do, producing his replica in players.We used to see baZoom’s playing…
Aggrey Chiyangi or Gift Kampamba came join Lumwana Radiants and you will never regret.
The only Zambian quick silver (MR.Bestone Chambeshi) ,he would have just
stayed at lumwana radians football club.
Kusabaila konse uku
Welcome Ama Be!
Sharon, you must be a child of Mufulira to know him by that name.Guess you were butondo secondary school girl.Nanje iyo ni jealous.He is a seasoned coach, made Kitwe United promoted to Premier at one time, won a league with Power Dynamo, coached in Botswana,I wish Mr. Liwewe was alive, he could have told you Bestone’s profile.Wishing you the best baMabe!!!!
IMWE we are here for money. What can you do if they double the money?
This time around Beston has vindicated himself to come back at Nkana after the ceremonial dismissal by the same incompetent Executive Committee led by Kabila. Nkana Executive committee has been the major contributor of incompetency at the team.
For the team to improve its performance the Nkana stakeholders(sponsors, fans, community, players numerous to mention) must fire the Nkana Executive Committee to give Beston fresh air to strategy his way to the winning formula.
I say so because its only the executive which has remained constant in the equation of incompetency. All other figures has changed several times while the suspicious figure (executive committee) is busy blaming others.
As in above this paragraph ‘This time around Beston has vindicated himself to come back at Nkana after the ceremonial dismissal by the same incompetent Executive Committee led by Kabila. Nkana Executive committee has been the major contributor of incompetency at the team’ must read as follows
‘This time around Beston has vindicated himself to come back at Nkana after the unceremonial dismissal by the same incompetent Executive Committee led by Kabila. Nkana Executive committee has been the major contributor of incompetency at the team’
