Azam Tigers look set to lose their talismanic Captain, Yamikani Chester, who has reportedly resigned from the Kau Kau.<\/p>\n
However, Chester, who has two caps, might collide with Tigers\u2019 management over his contract which will expire in March next year.<\/p>\n
The player, who is also linked with Nyasa Big Bullets and Be Forward Wanderers, on Monday insisted that his contract had expired.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am reluctant to engage in talk about my contract. Talk to abambo <\/em>[Technical Director Robin Alufandika] because he is the one who has been changing goal posts on the duration of the contract,\u201d the attacking midfielder said.<\/p>\n \u201cWhatever the case, I do not see myself playing for Tigers next season. I will have to look for another team. I have served Tigers loyally for six years and that is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n It is believed that Chester, one of the most underrated attackers, has signed a pre-contract with one of the giants.<\/p>\n However, Alufandika yesterday said Chester had one year remaining on his contract. The midfielder can play anywhere from midfield to upfront.<\/p>\n \u201cNo team has approached us and we have not sat down to come up with his price. His contract has not expired,\u201d Alufandika said.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe he does not want to play for Tigers. But that is not a problem. Let a team that is interested in him approach us and do a proper transfer like sportsmen.<\/p>\n \u201cI know there are teams that spend between K10 million and K15 million per month on players and we cannot compete with them as our monthly allocation is just K500,000.\u201d<\/p>\n Football Association of Malawi Transfer Matching System Manager, Casper Jangale, on Tuesday said Chester submitted to the association a copy of his resignation letter.<\/p>\n \u201cAt first he came to us saying he did not have a copy of his contract. When he received it, he came back to give us a copy of his resignation letter,\u201d Jangale said.<\/p>\n \u201cHis contract will expire in March next year but he is using an exit clause in the contract stating that he can terminate the contract after either serving a one-month notice or paying one-month salary in lieu of notice.\u201d<\/p>\n The domestic transfer market is characterised by disputes over contracts. Currently, Wanderers and midfielder Joseph Kamwendo are locked in a transfer dispute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Azam Tigers look set to lose their talismanic Captain, Yamikani Chester, who has reportedly resigned from the Kau Kau.
