WEEKEND SCORECARD: Napsa hire Mohammed Fathy as coach

Beleaguered FAZ Super Division side Napsa Stars are under their third coach in six months in the 2018 season following the hiring of Mohammed Fathy on Monday.

The Egyptian-born coach replaces Elijah Chikwanda who was fired last week after an uneventful 13 games in charge.

Fathy has been handed a short-term deal to try and save second from bottom Napsa from demotion.

Napsa have just one win and 10 points after 19 games played at the half-way point of the 2018 season.

“We have played 19 games and only got 10 points that is obviously not a good performance,” Napsa club board chairperson Zingani Phiri said.

“The major thing we have told the new coach is to convert whatever situation we are in into positives so that we avoid relegation.”

Chikwanda was fired after picking one win and four draws since he replaced Linos Makwaza in early April.

Makwaza collected just a point from Napsa’s first five matches of the 2018 campaign.

Meanwhile, Fathy has previously coached Kabwe Warriors,Power Dynamos and National Assembly.
