MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-Songwe Border United have officially suspended their head coach, Christopher Nyambose, for 21 days following a string of disappointing performances in the ongoing TNM Super League season.
According to a statement signed by the club’s General Secretary, Palisha Swira, the decision was made after the club’s management expressed serious dissatisfaction with Nyambose’s performance since the start of the season.
Despite playing 15 league matches, Songwe Border have only managed to collect two points, making them the worst-performing team in the league so far.
The club’s poor run has not only seen them languishing at the bottom of the table but also led to their early exit from the FDH Bank Cup, deepening frustrations among supporters and officials.
The suspension letter highlights that during Nyambose’s absence, Edwin Kaonga will step in as interim coach, tasked with stabilizing the team and helping it rediscover its fighting spirit.
Kaonga, a member of the technical panel, will oversee both training sessions and upcoming fixtures while Nyambose’s future is being reviewed.
Sources within the club indicate that this suspension serves as both a disciplinary and evaluative measure, giving the management time to assess whether Nyambose still fits into the club’s long-term plans.
Some insiders believe the board may be preparing for a possible coaching reshuffle if the team fails to improve in the next few games.
Nyambose, who joined Songwe Border earlier this season with hopes of guiding the newly promoted side to stability in top-flight football, now faces mounting pressure to justify his position once his suspension ends.
Songwe Border United currently sit bottom of the TNM Super League standings with just two points from 19 matches, leaving their hopes of survival hanging by a thread.
The club’s management has reportedly called for an emergency meeting to map out the way forward as they fight to avoid immediate relegation.
The coming weeks will be crucial for the Karonga-based outfit, as the interim coach seeks to restore confidence in the squad and revive their slim chances of staying in Malawi’s top football division.
