Former Flames coach, Eddingtone Ng\u2019onamo, has been hired as Blantyre United Technical Director, replacing Leo Mpulula who will now be acting head Coach.<\/p>\n
United earned TNM Super League promotion from the Southern Region Football Association\u2019s Premier Division last season, two years after being relegated.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s owner Lawson Nakoma announced the changes yesterday, saying it would be important to have Mpulula as coach as he is much into nurturing talent.<\/p>\n
Nakoma hoped that the hiring of Ngo\u2019namo would help the team to maintain its culture of developing players from the grassroots.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that the combination of him and Mr. Mpulula will make our team strong and be able to compete for honours this season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nakoma added that his team would be dominated by the players who earned the promotion.<\/p>\n
Ng\u2019onamo said he was determined to transform the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no small team. Going to Blantyre United will help me in my coaching career. As a qualified coach, I need to be active and I am sure that we will build a good team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ng\u2019onamo also coached Nyasa Big Bullets and Be Forward Wanderers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
