Napsa Stars have sent coach Tennant Chilumba on forced leave following a run of poor results.
Napsa have lost their last six league matches and prior to that collected three successive draws since they beat Kabwe Warriors 1-0 on July 15 at home in Lusaka.
Sunday’s 1-0 away loss at Green Buffaloes left Chilumba’s one-year, four month reign at Napsa looking very bleak.
“The Executive Committee of Napsa Stars Football Club has requested head coach Tenant Chilumba to proceed on a four-week leave with immediate effect,” Napsa media officer Gwen Chipasula said in a statement.
“Assistant coach Linos Makwaza will take charge of the team while the head coach is away.”
Napsa are currently 8th on 37 points, ten points behind the team that sealed Chilumba’s fate Buffaloes.
Chilumba joined Napsa in May, 2016 following his dismissal at Power Dynamos where he spent three season.
