Christopher Katongo says he has no personal relationship with Chipolopolo coach Wedson Nyirenda.

The 2012 AFCON winning captain described his relationship with Nyirenda as ‘lukewarm’.

“I think I have never been close to him, I don’t know what kind of a coach he is,” Katongo told reporters in Johannesburg on Thursday on the sidelines of the 2018 Castle 5-A-Side Soccer Tournament launch.

Katongo is in South Africa as Zambia’s headline legend for the two-day tournament launch that ends today, January 12 in Johannesburg.

“There is no relationship with me. We never talk, we just greet each other.” Katongo said.

“I can say is there is no relationship.

“But what is important is to give him the encouragement and information for the national team to go forward.

“But otherwise we are not close, we are not friends.”

  1. I have never liked Wedson Nyirenda. How can you leave out the Landlord, Sate Sate from the CHAN squad? This coach seem to have too much pride..

  2. This story would have made more sense if it just read “When people thought the friendship between Wedson and Katongo was here, it was not here but there and even when it was there, it was not there but there.” This is how senseless this article reads. Please re-do it

  3. @Luapula bize, naimwe ikalenifye, tamwamwishiba landlord, lelo muipange, ba Power akalijo napa LT. mbuya, bushe Ujeni nakaana ati Wed tekochi?
    by the way, mwise pnchende, nalais shita ko nangu tune, nimbeula ba kopala bakaamba

    • In which way? If they are not friends, what has it got to do with him and the rest of the readers of LT. Or just to show that he hasn’t considered him a position in the national team as part of the technical bench or assistant in any field??

  4. SATE BAKAAMBA EWABAKO,ALACITIKA BIG TIME.BUT EVERY COACH HAS HIS OWN PREFERED PLAYER.LOOK AT MAN CITY,PEP GUARDIOLA AND YAYA TOURE!!.WOULD YOU AGREE TO THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT YAYA IS FINISHED SINCE HE RARELY USED BY HIS PEP?.
