Coach TenNant Chilumba has remained modest despite his side Kabwe Warriors making an impressive start to the 2018 FAZ Super Division season.
Warriors are fourth on the table with 14 points , two behind joint leaders Zesco United, Power Dynamos and Green Buffaloes , after seven matches played.
Magnificent have been the best performing team in the latest four Super Division matches after recording four straight wins.
“We are looking good but I can’t say we can compete for the league. Being in the top four is a bonus , ” Chilumba said.
Warriors thumped Forest Rangers 2-0 in their last match played at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium on Sunday.
“We started working on the philosophy, you know I have played for Kabwe Warriors before. So I know the expectations from management and supporters,” he said.
Warriors spent the 2017 season fighting relegation before finishing 15th on the table with coach Elijah Chikwanda whom Chilumba replaced earlier this year.
“We assembled an average team. We thought of bringing in foreigners to stabilise the team and recruited some senior players from other teams,” Chilumba added.
Common Tenant, can you please revive Kabwe Warriors Football team, the sleeping giant of Kabwe, the Magnificent People’s team. I have watched you play for the team from 1985 to 1995. I have watched other great players like Boniface Simutowe, Dennis Lota, Happy Sichikolo ,Harrison Tembo , Timothy Mwitwa and goal Keeper Richard Mwanza. Common Warriors. I maybe many miles away from you, you are still my dream team in Zambia. Ati ba Mighty Mufulira Wanderers, kwisa?
@ Macgyver, tekanya sana Boi Mighty iwina ichungulo. Don’t forget history and who produced by Might Mufulira Wanderers. I’m talking as way back as Samuel ” Zoom” Ndhlovu, in 1956, George Sikazwe Goalkeeper Bwete (1959). Laurent Chishala, willie Kunda and Elijah Mwale. 1962 Tolomeo Mwansa as Goalkeeper, not forgetting Dickson Makwaza, Joseph “Kanono” Musonda. This is enough i won’t even get to the time of Efford Chabala, Ashols Melu, Benjamin and Brother Kalusha Bwalya and not forgetting Charlie Cool (Charles Musonda), Johnson Bwalya. Mcgyver mwachepa sana.
