Mufulira Blackpool toast promotion

Mufulira Blackpool coach Weston Mumba is looking forward to the his promoted side campaigning in the 2016 FAZ Super Division season.

Blackpool on Sunday finished second in FAZ Division 1 North to secure their return to the Super Division for the first time since 1999.

Mumba guided Blackpool back to the top-flight in only his first season in charge at John Kachofa Stadium.

“I am so humbled by the outcome. From Week one up to today my boys have been responding to instructions and they deserve to be back in the Super League,” Mumba said whose previous jobs include Zamsure and Forest Rangers.

“There is no secret (to promotion). The important part of things is we were all speaking the same language with the players and the management.”

Blackpool’s promotion means Mufulira, like fellow football hotbed Kitwe, will have two teams in the Super Division and also another big derby to look forward to in the 2016 season.

    • Peter am not sure if it’s even worth responding to you, but to me it would seem YOU are the useless one. Do you think they won promotion through the back door or they were just thrust into the super division without having worked hard during the season? Get a life chilumendo…

  1. iwe chi peter tawakwata amano noko ku south africa waba baonaulafye,you think to win promotion to super division is an easy thing and more especially the boys where underpaid if there is any pay at all?

  2. “more especially the boys where underpaid if there is any pay at all?”…the more reason they will be back in Division one after next season……..Premier league needs ka motivation kabili…
