Guys lets not talk about coaches, talk about players, Malawi has no quality football players, our league is not competitive, South Africa league is not competitive too, where then are we going to get better players from? Wanderers and Bullets are the big teams in the country but do we have quality national team players in those teams.
munthuyu anali defender,timu ingachite bwino?
By saying we lost to best team means what? That’s nonsense. The main reason for failure in Malawian Football is:- Malawi players are too and try to search some local players from villages or schools. Second is to call Kinna to be our Coach.During the time when Kinna was our coach, our team manage to qualify for Africa Cup of Nations. Send this Chimodzi to Chipiku League for him to learn how to manage a team to win.
it simply shows how umbuli some one can be the same Kinnah was sacked after a string of poor results Who doesnt know that Algeria is the best team as compared to Malawi.

Malawian coaches have failed we have tried them and they have proved to be tactically down to zero, these guys Young and Jack need to be assigned as regional coaches and please dont call back Kinna as other people are saying. If the Government is serious of supporting football lets bury our pride and accept to employ a foreign European or Brazilian coaches with a trainer. Pilirani Kachinziri is the person responsible with the mess we are in, he has always been writing bad about foreign coaches now can he defend the string of losses and shameful outings?

He is substiting like David moyes if there were ateam to beat it is algeria they give malawi two much room but lucky of tactics on our coach cost us agame
…without vigour, determination, self belief and ambition we can go nowhere. Look at Sudan…they defeated the African Champions Nigeria. That is the spirit lacking in our team. Defence is a very serious business….why fielding toddlers when the super league is full of full grown men? Goalkeeper who is completely imobile…to team members who are not fit…we dont have gyms in mlw???
