FORMER Napsa Stars head coach Tenant Chilumba has been appointed Kabwe Warriors Football Club head coach.

Kabwe Warriors Football Club chairman Hayden Dingwall confirmed the development in a statement issued to the Daily Nation Sports in Lusaka by Zambia Railways Limited public relations manager Caristo Chitamfya. Chilumba replaces former City of Lusaka head coach Elijah Chikwanda who helped Warriors survive relegation during the 2017 MTN/FAZ Super League season.

Dingwall noted that Chilumba, who was sidelined at Napsa Stars following a losing streak would add value to the Zambia Railways-sponsored club because of his immerse experience in football coaching. “Kabwe Warriors executive committee constituted and appointed the former NAPSA head coach who is also Under-23 national team assistant coach,” Dingwall Said.

“The appointment and announcement of the rest of the technical bench is expected by Wednesday (today).”

He noted that Chilumba who is a former Kabwe Warriors player and assistant coach was expected to report within the next forty-eight hours.

Meanwhile, Zambia Railways has unveiled a new club executive committee led by Dingwall who retained his position as chairman of the Kabwe based Super League outfit. Dingwall is joined by club manager Chuchu Mwanabaleya while Chungu Sikazwe is the new vice chairperson.  

Other committee members are Cledwin Mulambo, Mutale Ngandu, Francis Lwanga, Collins Phiri and Caristo Chitamfya.
