Nkana legend and experienced coach Beston Chambeshi says concerted effort from all stakeholders are needed in order to revive the dwindling performance of the record 13-team Super League kings.
Chambeshi, the coach of Konkola Blades, said a lot needed to be done for Nkana to regain the lost glory.
He insisted that no one would like to see Nkana relegated.
The Wusakile giants finished 13th with 39 points from 34 matches – just 9 wins, 12 draws, and 13 defeats. They scored only 23 goals and conceded 30.
“When you talk about Nkana, you are literally talking about Zambian football. Nkana has a rich history in Zambia with a large following,” Chambeshi told Kitwe based journalist Mathews Kabamba.
“I am not happy with what is happening at Nkana. I think there is a lot to do to make sure the team bounces back to its standard,” he said.
Nkana’s struggles were made worse by being outshined in Kitwe by arch-rivals Power Dynamos, who claimed their 9th league title.
“All I can say is that let the executive put their heads together. Football is played on the pitch. Without Nkana in the Zambian League I doubt. I was lucky to play at Nkana. I am here because of Nkana,” Chambeshi said.
“No one would like to see the team go down. Those who love Nkana we should put our heads together so that we see this team rise to its old glory days,” he said.
Chambishi won seven league titles with Nkana as a player and won two more as an assistant coach.
