Kinna slams door for four foreign stars
Malawi national team coach, Kinnah Phiri has slammed the door for four foreign based players in the squad going to next January’s Africa Cup of Nations finals in Angola.
Phiri said he will not pick Denmark based towering defender, Clement Kafwafwa and German based pint-sized striker Dan Chitsulo.
The Flames mentor also dropped two South African based players, Fisher Kondowe and Grant Lungu.
Speaking on his arrival from Angola where he went to witness the CAN draw, Phiri said he will take 25 players and no more adding new faces expect vice captain, Elvis Kafoteka who has recovered from a knee injury.
“We do not have enough space to accommodate new faces,” said the coach.
“But l may consider Tawonga Chimodzi (pictured) because this is his chance to learn since he is still young,” said Phiri.
Kondowe and Lungu were sidelined due to disciplinary grounds.
The Flames who were paired in Group A alongside hosts Angola, Mali and Algeria will regroup on December 7 at Shire Highlands Hotel for camp.

i dont why others are crying kondowe. fischer anatha kalekale. i cant even remember when he last kicked the ball as for Dan Chitsulo haa the lat time i heard about he was clubless.
“chimodzi learning at cup of nations?”..funny. KINNA put aside your regionalism and include Gangira and Mwehiwa. we saw how mwehiwa performed in denmark. the press was on him. but you dropped him. we saw how gangira performed at COSAFA only to be substituted for no reason cos he was earmarked for “man of the match”. we are watching you. tread carefully. take a leaf from the balanced and high performing crew 1984 team that went to CUP of Nations
Magodi says:
considered discipline as Malawi golden boot. bravo Kinna
YEAH KINNAH, I WILL BE FOLLOWING YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO, BOLA UKATIBWERETSERE CHIKHO CHATHUCHO, ANYAMATAWA UKAWADZIWA WEKHA NO ONE SHOULD POINT A FINGER AT YOU, UMAKWANA COACH
Mr Kinna Phiri did not play international football so exposure on international football is ZERO. His international footbal is RSA and Swaziland. Very limited exposure. Cote d Ivor half the team plays in Europe. Mali’s kanoute plays in Europe, Nigeria, Cameroon, Egypt, etc have international players in Europe appreciating the need for international exposure whom they compete with at world cup.
when you talk of Camping, Angola will camp in Portugal, why did they not choose Malawi of Zambia. Europe is Europe without discrediting our countries and we should be able to admit that the international players have exposure and are good.
Team yongodzaza ndi northerners basi. You want to tell me they are the best players in Malawi. Nanu a boma you cannt see that the coach is tribalistic. Kafwafwa, Chitsulo, south or centre. He cannt take them. But if their names were manda, mwachiwoko, mwizawina, nyirongo, mkandawire, etc. he would have rushed for them. Very pathetic.
As for Fischer,Grant& Kafwafwa, i sypathise with them.But for Daniel chitsulo,its applicable to leave him out of the Squad,at the moment he doesn’t have a club in Germany. He is happily married with acertain German Lady( foot ball to him is news now).
Gime 1 gd reason wy northeners should not dominate the squad when most of our soccer legends r from the north eg, kinna,msiya,ntawali,kayira,bannet gondwe.even in ma class notherners dominated.speak the truth.
