Nyasa Big Bullets FC has initiated the process of replacing their highly successful head coach, Kalisto Pasuwa, who is set to take the reins as the Malawi national team coach.
Pasuwa’s departure comes after a remarkable stint with the club, during which he led Bullets to consecutive league championships, including last year’s historic quadruple.
According to inside sources, Bullets are considering Macdonald Nginde Mtetemera and Alex Ngwira as caretaker coaches until the end of the season.
Both coaches have impressive track records and are well-versed with the team’s dynamics.
Pasuwa’s exit is a significant loss for Bullets, but the club is determined to ensure a seamless transition.
His achievements with the team have been nothing short of phenomenal, and his legacy will be cherished by the Bullets faithful.
“Kalisto has been an integral part of our success, and we cannot thank him enough for his contributions,” said a senior Bullets official. “However, we understand his desire to serve the nation, and we wish him all the best in his new role.”
Pasuwa’s appointment as Flames head coach comes after Patrick Mabedi was relieved of his duties due to poor performance.
The former Bullets coach will be assisted by Silver Strikers FC’s Peter Mponda, who is also leaving his role to join Pasuwa’s technical team.
But Silver strikers official said earlier on that his team won’t release Mponda as FAM has not officially written them, seeking Mponda’s services.
Mponda’s experience and tactical acumen will undoubtedly complement Pasuwa’s coaching style, and the duo is expected to inject new energy into the national team.
As Bullets embark on their search for a new coach, the club’s hierarchy is keen on maintaining the momentum established under Pasuwa’s leadership.
“We are looking for someone who can continue the good work started by Kalisto,” added the official. “We have a strong squad, and we believe that with the right guidance, we can continue to dominate domestic football and make an impact in regional competitions.”
Mtetemera and Ngwira are both seasoned coaches with extensive experience in Malawian football.
Their ability to adapt to Bullets’ playing style and philosophy will be crucial in ensuring the team’s continued success.
The coming weeks will be crucial for Bullets as they navigate this transition period.
The club’s fans will be eagerly watching to see who will take the reins and lead the team to further glory.
Pasuwa’s departure marks the end of an era at Bullets, but the club is poised to continue its winning tradition.
With the right appointment, Bullets will remain a force to be reckoned with in Malawian football.
