Wedson Nyirenda joins Malawian club ‎

Former Chipolopolo coach Wedson Nyirenda has been unveiled as head coach of Malawian top club FCB Nyasa Big Bullets on a two-year contract.

‎Nyirenda was unveiled during a club press conference in Blantyre on Wednesday afternoon.

‎The 59-year-old has coached Zesco United, Zanaco, Lusaka Dynamos, Mozambique’s Ferroviário da Beira and Baroka FC of South Africa.

‎Club President Konrad Buckle expressed confidence in the appointment, describing Nyirenda as a coach capable of helping the club achieve its ambitions.

‎“Wedson is a coach with a proven track record and a wealth of experience gained at some of the biggest clubs in the region.

‎“The board and management have worked diligently throughout this process, and we have full confidence in the decision that has been made. We believe he has the qualities, leadership and expertise to make a real difference at FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.”

‎Nyirenda said Bullets’ rich history and success were among the key factors behind his decision to take the job.

‎“I am very excited and delighted to be in Malawi, especially because I have been appointed head coach of the country’s biggest club,” he said.

‎“FCB Nyasa Big Bullets is a club with a remarkable history. Winning the league championship 17 times is a huge achievement and tells you everything about the stature of this football club.”

‎“When you look at that record, you understand the expectations, the tradition and the ambition that come with the job. That is one of the reasons I was so interested in coming here and becoming part of this great club,” Nyirenda said.

‎Nyirenda is expected to appoint some of his backroom staff from Zambia.
