Bullets have also added Lloyd Nkhwazi to Ramadhan’s backroom staff.

According to Bullets’ general secretary Harold Fote, they have demoted Kananji due to some coaching qualification hitches pertaining to the requirements in the CAF Championships.

“Kananji has no CAF coaching licence to be used during the CAF Championship,” said Fote.

However, Nkhwazi has the CAF licences but was overlooked ahead of Burundian tactician Ramadhan, ho won Bullets three league titles between 1997 and 2001.

Fote said promoting Nkhwazi “could be perceived as demeaning Kananji, his boss in the previous technical panel. We have, therefore, opted for Ramadhan as head coach to avoid the conflict that could possibly ensue.”

According to Fote, Ramadhan and Nkhwazi will be allowed to be on the touchline during Bullets’ games in the continental showpiece as per the requirements in CAF competitions.

  3. My advice is, Mr Kananji, you are worth the salt. I admire you and your record is the best so far by Malawi std. Just go for the papers and I know you can make it.

  6. Kananji has been treated badly due to these caf requirements,therefore he just join Kau Kau since they do not have a coach as of now.

  7. Apatu sipanavute , ntchito sungaipeze coz watchena sut , koma nkhani ndi ma paper akusukulu ,ngakhale utakhala sasamba koma uli ophunzira ulendo waku Parlament umatheka basi AKananji all de bst , ndipo ulemu ndi mpereche .

  8. That is the way God promotes people, by way of humbling them first and then to their glory. That should be a learning process for Kananji. The time he will be deputising Rhamadan he can explore ways of acquiring the required qualifications.

  11. still kananji is the best coach despite these qualification issues..consider him upgrading cx you will need him next season in casa u wont participate un this continental competition…’some leaders are born not made’ Mark my quote!!!

  18. All the best Ma Bullets. Bwana Kananji do your lessons to get a CAF licence. We appreciate your efforts and we are proud of you. Don’t be deceived by these other desperate teams.

  19. Qualification is a tool higher position. Kananji just need upgrading himself to CAF coaching lincence. No debate. Its high time most Malwaian coaches are found on touchlines illigally. EK plz try to learn spoken english. I admire your coaching skills.
