Perry Mutapa has made a shock exit from Forest Rangers after three years with the Ndola club.
Forest confirmed Mutapa’s resignation on Monday afternoon adding that he had quit together with his long-serving and faithful assistant Masauso Tembo.
Mutapa has been at Forest since 2016 when he arrived as assistant to his mentor Patrick Phiri and later took up the post fulltime when the latter left for Lusaka Dynamos the following season.
Dynamos was also Mutapa’s first coaching stop together with Tembo when they guided their childhood club back to the FAZ Super Division in 2015 after five years in Division 1.
Mutapa and Tembo’s destination is unknown with speculation linking the duo to a possible shock move to Power Dynamos.
MUTAPA NAMES COSAFA U20 TEAM
Meanwhile, Mutapa’s elder brother Oswald Mutapa has named his final 24-member team for the 2019 COSAFA U20 Cup that Zambia will host in Lusaka from December 4-14 at Nkoloma and Sunset Stadium.
Three notable faces from the 2017 Under-17 and 2018 Under-20 teams are back namely striker Francisco Mwepu, midfielders Musonda Kalale and Prince Mumba.
Zambia is in Group A with Botswana, Malawi and The Comoros.
Mutapa’s sides kicks off their campaign on December 4 against Botswana at Nkoloma Stadium.
Zesco United’s exciting prospect John Chishimba is also set for his junior debut.
