Struggling FAZ Super League side Roan United have appointed Fordson Kabole as new club head coach.
Club secretary Chisoni Miti confirmed on Wednesday that Kabole has taken over from Dean Mwiinde who has been sent on forced leave by the Luanshya based side.
The veteran coach who was unveiled at Kafubu Stadium on Wednesday will take charge of Roan until the end of the current season.
Roan are bottom of the table with 17 points from 25 matches played.
“Mr. Fordson Kabole is now the head coach. The incumbent coach Mr. Dean Mwiinde is on leave,” Miti said.
Mwiinde failed to win in the ten games he was incharge of Roan.
“He (Kabole) started work today after we introduced him to the players and will be incharge until the close of the season,” he added.
Kabole will work with Kaunda Simonda and Hilary Makasa as his assistants.
The ex-Power Dynamos and Nchanga Rangers trainer returns to coaching for the first time since March 2013 when he was fired by Congolese club Don Bosco.
Ba Kabole back in zed football. Master tactician and great coach.
The main thing I like about Kabole is that he loves instilling discipline in his team, but unfortunately most Zambian players hate discipline. they prefer coaches who go out to drink with them or honour them because they are stars-Kabole does not tolerate this and this is what makes him unpopular among players. Good luck ba father, Rona United is where you started before Nchanga poached you.
The reality on the ground is that Roan is headed for division one football.Roan United management has taken too long to engange a focused coach .Fordson Kabole likes using juju and may be that might work to his advantage in saving the once glamous Stylish Roan United. I would like the area MP of Roan to explain to the soccer lovers of Luanshya why him being the out spoken sports minister of sport allowed a situation where Roan United are in such a dillema. The minister must also explain why Luanshya sports complex is collapsing under his nose. Is this man really a man of action?
