Malawi Flames coach fired


Malawi coach Young Chimodzi has been fired barely a day after losing 2-1 at home to Zimbabwe on Saturday.

The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) emergency executive committee meeting held in Blantyre on Sunday after the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations Group L defeat, resolved to release Chimodzi and his assistant Jack Chamangwana.

The coaches’ contract ends next month and FAM decided to send them on leave until the expiry of their tenure. The two coaches leave with a record of six wins, five draws and 12 losses in all competition. He won the 2015 Cosafa Plate Division championship in South Africa two weeks ago.
Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Ernest Mtawali has since named caretaker coach with a new head coach set to be named this August 1 2015.



“At its Emergency Executive Committee meeting held on 14th June 2015 at the Chiwembe Technical Centre in Blantyre, the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has resolved to recommend to Malawi Government not to renew the contracts of employment of the current Malawi national football team's Head Coach and His Assistant which are due for expiry on 31st July 2015,” FAM general secretary Suzgo Nyirenda said in a statement.

“FAM would like to note that it has lost confidence in the coaches due to poor performance of the Malawi national football team generally during their term of engagement culminating into the recent loss to the Zimbabwe national football team. Since assuming responsibility in March 2014 the coaches have been in charge of 23 matches of which they won six, drew five and lost 12 representing a 23 percent wining rate.”


Mtawali will immediately assume responsibility of the Flames in preparation for the friendly match against Uganda during the country’s Independence Day Celebrations.
