Kumanga, who has once worked as assistant coach, and then took charge of s caretaker for the team confirmed the development.

Kumanga watched the game as Red Lions were massacred 4-1 at Kamuzu Stadium on Sunday in a pre-season warm up while his former Moyale Barracks teammate Prichard Mwansa was in charge probably for the last time.

“I cannot confirm that I have been appointed head coach for Red Lions. I am ready for the task as I have also played football at the club and national team,”,Kumanga said.

Coincidental Kumanga and Mwansa were in the same dream team of the inaugural Carlsberg Cup winners with Stereo Gondwe, Victor Phiri Lameck Mughogho.

The development comes after unimpressive run of Red Lions who have lived up to the people’s expectation as potential title winners since the tutelage of coach Franco Ndawa.

Mwansa has not been doing well during the preseason having lost to Mighty Be Forward Wanderers 3 2-1 last week.
