Nkana have denied speculation they are in talks with Beston Chambeshi to take over from Zeddy Saileti.
The executive committee is said not to be happy with Saileti after eleven games in charge since he was promoted to the post following the death of Masauso Mwale in a car accident on May 24.
“No it is not true at all. That issue has never been discussed nor has Chambeshi been approached,”Nkana secretary Ken Mwansa told the press over the weekend.
According to sources the pressure to bring in Chambeshi increased after Nkana lost 1-0 at home to Zesco United on July 9 when they suffered their second league loss of the season, just a fortnight after Nakambala Leopards beat them by the same margin.
Last Saturdays 3-1 win over Nchanga Rangers was expected to be Saileti’s final game in charge, an allegation Nkana have denied.
Meanwhile, the news of plans to replace Saileti with Chambeshi is said not to have gone down well with Nkana players who want the interim coach to be given a chance to prove himself.
Saileti has won six games, picked up two draws and three losses in all competition
Don’t even think about it. Saileti is the best and has, NOT to take any credit from Masauso, but Saileti brought his European experience to Nkana.
Do you remember Nkana was in same league as Masaiti Rangers and Mansa Medics?
Please Nkana prepare Saileti for us at Chipolopolo…. in is a National Coach material.
@Nostra…
I agree with you, besides Saileti has that swag. Lol. He needs time
let him just finish the season.I have all the confidence we are 2014 champ.zanaco and zesco pasopo
Saileti is a modern coach and his performances has been impressive despite the recent departure of Evans Kangwa and Bruce Musakanya. Chipolopolo class of 94 and 96 should be given more coaching opportunities than just weiging in Zambian petty politics which have characterized every section of our society. We should embrace the idea of grooming young coaches with updated understanding of the game like the Nigerians
Zeddy’s record at Nkana is still very good. Let us avoid speculations and leave the running of football to the experts. Nkana still has high chances of progressing to the semi finals of the CAF Confederations and are in a ggod position even to win the league a record THIRTEEN TIMES. VIVA KALAMPA, VIVA ZEDDY SAILETI
Was actually wondering what grounds were to be used to eliminate Saileti.
People must learn from mistakes of Red Arrows and Nkwazi.
If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it
Pliz let Zaddy Sailet continue his good work with a clear mind pliz
