T<\/strong>he hiring of Lloyd Nkhwazi as Dwangwa United Technical Director (TD) has brought trouble at the club as Head Coach, Macdonald Mtetemera, is reportedly refusing to work with the former Nyasa Big Bullets coach.<\/p>\n

Two camps in support of Mtetemera and the other for Nkhwazi have reportedly emerged at the Lake Shore side.<\/p>\n

Mtetemera shunned the team\u2019s training sessions last week, allegedly in reaction to Nkhwazi\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n

Mtetemera, who was not on the technical bench on Saturday at the start of Dwangwa\u2019s friendly game against Silver Strikers at Chitowe Stadium, only appeared at half -time to join his technical team.<\/p>\n

But drama ensued when the team\u2019s Chairperson, Anold Zenizeni, told Mtetemera to leave, saying he was not supposed to be on the bench since he did not attend training sessions.<\/p>\n

The two exchanged bitter words before Mtetemera left for the terraces.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Mtetemera blamed the team\u2019s Executive Committee for not informing him about Nkhwazi\u2019s recruitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe executive has not formally introduced him [Nkhwazi] to me, but as I earlier indicated, I don\u2019t have any problem working with him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked why he has been shunning the team\u2019s training sessions, Mtetemera said he was sorting out personal issues.<\/p>\n

Dwangwa Team Manager, George Kampira, echoed Mtetemera\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine as a Team Manager I only learnt about Nkhwazi\u2019s coming from the media and when he came, the executive did not address us to introduce him to us,\u201d Kampira said.<\/p>\n

Dwangwa General Secretary, Samson Zimba, said they were yet to meet Mtetemera over the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true that Mr. Mtetemera did not train the team last week but he did not tell us why he did so. We are yet to summon him for a meeting,\u201d Zimba said.<\/p>\n

Nkhwazi recently rejected the TD post saying he was not done with coaching. He eventually u-turned to take up the post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
