In a surprise move, the Malawi National Council of Sports (MNCS ) has reversed its earlier decision to block the Football Association of Malawi (FAM) from hiring former FCB Nyasa Big Bullets head coach Kallisto Pasuwa as the new Flames coach.
The u-turn comes after the Ministry of Youth and Sports intervened in the matter on Tuesday.
The council has since given FAM the green light to proceed with the appointment process.
FAM’s executive committee had resolved to hire Pasuwa on a two-year deal.
However, MNCS had initially rejected the move, citing that FAM had not followed the proper recruitment procedures.
The council had argued that since the government would be contributing to the coach’s perks, FAM needed to follow the normal recruitment process.
