Hoener no more : Ex Malawi technical director

Former Malawi National Team Technical Director, Manfred Hoener, is no more, Nyasa Times can confirm.

The German passed on at the age of 79 due to heart failure on March 6, 2021.

Hoener was vigilant in spotting players across the country and shaping them at junior level before handing them over to the coach for the senior national team.

“… my friend Manfred Hoener is no more. I am really shocked. I am where I am because of this man. Rest in peace Manfred! Ruhe in Frieden Manfred,” wrote Chitsulo.
