Civo United have bolstered their coaching panel after hiring former Escom United and Be Forward Wanderer mentor, Charles Manda, as Technical Director with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s vice-General Secretary, Ronald Chiwaula, confirmed on Thursday that Manda was hired to fulfill Club Licensing Systems requirements.<\/p>\n
\u201cManda has vast experience and he is also a disciplinarian. We believe that this is a good choice and, hopefully, the team will start delivering good results in the league,\u201d Chiwaula said.<\/p>\n
He further explained that Pofera would still be the head coach of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we believe that the coming in of Manda will bring positive results to the Civo family because the coaches will be sharing ideas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Civo are 11th in the TNM Super League with 15 points from 13 games.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Pofera has said he is ready to work with anyone for the good of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club is yet to brief me on the issue but I am really looking forward to working with Mr. Manda. I think his experience will improve the team. This is football and I have no problems with his appointment,\u201d Pofera said.<\/p>\n
Civo hired Pofera after the club parted ways with Standard Bank Cup-winning coach Oscar Kaunda, who fell short of the licensing qualifications.<\/p>\n
Manda was not readily available yesterday, but his last job was with Swaziland\u2019s Premier Soccer League side, Mbabane Highlanders, as a deputy to compatriot Meck Mwase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
