Rangers Delay “Big Fi” Simukonda’s Unveiling

It appears that negotiations between Faz Super Division side Nchanga Rangers and their prospective coach Fighton Simukonda have taken a protracted turn.

According to Rangers sponsors Konkola Copper Mines, Simukonda was set to be unveiled as Rangers head coach on Saturday afternoon but the event has been cancelled.

KCM said the ceremony has been rescheduled because Simukonda has a family issue he is attending to.

But Rangers chairman Blackwell Siwale has insisted that the Chingola side are yet to conclude talks with their prospective coach whom he declined to identify.

Siwale predicted that the negotiations would be finalised early next week.

He also denied knowing about the cancelled KCM planned unveiling ceremony.

Rangers launched a search for a new coach after firing Bruce Mwape earlier last month.

Mwape has since been enganged as Roan United trainer.

  1. That iz the problem with some of our administratorz – doing thingz the “kangaroo court” way. The denialz by Siwale are a recipe for mistrust and room for some under-hand gamez to set in. Am sure and do hope that Simukonda wants to sign a mature, sincere and all encampasing deal.
